I’m probably going to catch a lot of flack for this, I don’t much care. When I start a book I usually skip over whatever the author has to say about the story. I read what one specific author has to say but I skip by what other authors have to say. I want to dive straight into the story and escape reality for awhile.
However, I may have learned my lesson with this book. I should have read what the author had to say, it turns out it was a bit important. I should have finished this book in one day. As I began reading it I found myself getting pretty confused. Go back to the beginning and start again. About two stories in I figured out why I kept getting so confused, the beginning is actually the ending. As you go further into the story it starts to make sense. At least that is my take on it.
The author is able to transport you into the world they wanted to create. After much confusion, I truly enjoyed this world.
