I also was looking forward to reading this book. I did love that he took us through Kvoethe’s university experience and I found that intriguing. Part way through the story the author suddenly had his main character go to trial. But instead of telling the story he skipped over it like it was inconsequential. I found that lazy, but decided it was not too distracting. However, the author chose, again, a hundred pages later, to tell the readers that Kvoethe had a significant experience being lost at sea, losing all his valuables, and having a major tribulation, then decided not to elaborate on that part of the character’s journey. I found that extremely irritating and frankly unprofessional. Just have the character stay present if you are writing it as a timeline. The lazy storytelling was too much For me and I stopped reading because I knew it would happen again at some point in the storyline and frustrate me. I’m happy to say I only paid 25 cents for this book and would not recommend for serious fans of this genre. At least his last story had merit!
