can see how this could be a story that people enjoy. It has this over positioning of times, past and present. But the story is so banal for the longest part of the book, then that characters are a caricature of a Young Adult novel and when things get interesting; sadly they turn into the most stereotypical flat character in a book. The book has undertones of a great story. Unfortunately for me and my taste, they developed the boring parts of it

What a PITA

After the first book that reads like Dora the Explorer visita Egypt I had to continue with the 2nd one. What a disaster. The characters are flatter than the paper they are written in.
Cliché over cliché and no substance whatsoever.
Still have way to go and I don't know if I'll be able to force myself through it

Not bad but definitely not great. Mostly the story of a man that never listened and that costed him everything. Then the story of a resilient girl/woman

Good

For a long perdió of time it felt like this book reads like The Dark Tower. But then it hit me, checked the publishing year; TDT is the one that reads like this
Overall interesting book. Sometimes a lot of made up terminology muddies the story. But definitely worth being called a classic
