2.5 stars This was a very disappointing story. To be fair, a lot of the disappointment might be due to high expectations given the GR rating (~4.53 when I picked up the book). Then again, the GR majority and I often disagree. So, why didn't I like the story? Well, there are many things that contributed to my frustration but the main were the "loose" prose (aka rambling and repetition), overuse of flashbacks, and limited character development. 1) Rambling and repetition: This story would have been much more powerful had the word count been cut in half. What's more, it wouldn't have affected anything regarding the actual plot and characters. The author presents the same event multiple times (in the present, in a flashback, in more detail, in reference...) Guess what? I got it the first time around. My reading time is precious and I felt like it was being wasted. As I passed the midpoint of the story, I started skipping pages during the flashbacks. Speaking of... 2)Overuse of flashbacks: Flashbacks are a useful tool in every author's tool box, but like most things in life they are only good in moderation. That was certainly not the case here. Flashbacks told in the first person POV of a character than was not present during the events being related...yuck. 3)Limited character development: Given the extra-generous word count, I expected above average development of the main characters and solid development of the secondary characters. Unfortunately, it doesn't pan out. None of the characters came to life for me. I suspect that was due to the use of first person POV from only one character. At the very least I would have liked Otter's POV. I have great respect for anyone who has the ability to put words on a page in a coherent manner, and even more respect for those who have the guts to expose them to the harsh reality of public opinion. Despite all my frustrations regarding this particular story, I hope that T.J. Klune continues to write and to publish and to grow as an author. There is a lot of potential in this story. Frankly, I am more concerned about the editing. Not sure what the editor was thinking!
