Ton Ray

First third of the book was good with character development quite interesting but then tragedy when seemingly none was on the horizon was introduced incongruently. The last half of the book was ponderous and a struggle to get through, with many pages if useless meandering thru poetic 'oh woe is me' scenarios. I felt like I wanted to storm Windsor castle with pitchforks and torches just to put this novel out if its misery.
