Aftermath

A good story with interesting characters that I just wish was executed a little bit better.

Unfortunately the grammar and syntax of the book are very... strange. It almost feels like a first draft and/or a script with annotations rather than a finished novel. It took me some time to get used do the writing style - or maybe rather get past it - and start to properly enjoy myself.

In the end it was worth the initial struggle. And as mentioned the plot and the characters are much better than the overall writing (which to the author's credit seemed to work pretty well for the more action oriented sections). I am actually looking forward to the next two parts, which hopefully will continue to tell a compelling tale but in a better way than this one did.
