Solace and Grief by Foz Meadows

3.0

Lots to like about this, plot that had a decent amount of complexity, and the world building is fabulous. Unfortunately, it reads like it really needed another edit - sections were sufficiently confusing that I had to read them through more than once to try and work out what was going on. I'm not convinced about the characters, but then I wasn't particularly keen on teenagers when I was one, a story full of slightly odd individuals didn't improve my perceptions of them.

But to put this in context - I feel about this book the way I do about the first of Rowling's Harry Potter books - lots of promise, needs a bit more practice. And I loved several of that series, so I'm intending to look out for others in this one.
