Laszlo delivers a gripping tale of ambition, consequence, and the battle between light and darkness, keeping readers on the edge of their seats until the thrilling conclusion.
Not a lot seems to happen for the book to be as long as it is, or at least how long it felt. Didn't connect with any of the characters at all and just didn't really enjoy the storyline it had either.
DNF at 20% - I found this book extremely difficult to follow. Although the writing style created amazing imagery, the environmental description often felt overwhelming. I did enjoy some of the main characters' inner monologue. It felt very opinionated and made his character stand out from the other few introduced in the beginning of this book. His inner monologue also made me so frustrated with his logic when it came to his creation. I bet this was intentional but personally I am not a fan of being constantly annoyed with the ignorance of the main character while I am reading. I overall was kind of bored while reading it. Not much was happening plot-wise and the characters were not distinct enough for me to form an attachment or interest in any of them, except perhaps the young girl who I was more just slightly curious about.
