I only read this because I wanted to read something short that was written by an anonymous author.

It was an interesting story and I did like some parts of it. It just didn't blow me away and I probably will not read it again.

At least the challenge is complete now.

Finally Finished!! this book has taken me about 6 weeks and 3 false starts to get finished - Purely due to the saga style of telling the story with every character introduced with not only their name and location but also their parentage and grand-parentage as well as a description and general standing in the community. Also many of the names are repeated through multiple characters / generations just to make an already confusing situation even more so!
In the end I used a note pad and pen and as the story progressed noted every new name and its relationship to the others - dealing with a chapter a night it took me about a week and a half to make it through
