Title: Story lost among the detail
Product review: I wanted to like this book, I really did! But I didn't. The pacing was all wrong, with what turned out to be a very thin story almost lost amongst all the extraneous detail. Every time something happened there was a flashback, a flashforward, a lapse into poetry, a lecture on history, a reflection on the nature of women, and a lament for what Spain has become. There's scene-setting, and then there's too much information, and this book definitely has the latter. The odd shifts between first-person narration and third-person storytelling did not help, either.Hopefully the next books in this series have more likeable characters and more exciting action with better pacing.
