Absolute torture, I read the blurb on the back cover & it seemed like my kind of book, unfortunately I was completely lost right from the start, didn't have a clue who was who or what was going on, I forced myself to keep at it, got to page 160 before I eventually gave up, less than five percent of the book so far had any relevance to the description on the back cover, I think you need to be a super fan of the author to get anything out of this book.
