Negative Positive
Title: Very complex
Review: Ada or Ardor is a complex and long book involving an alternate world where the Victorian world is mapped onto pangea, steam punk, a complicated family tree, word play and goodness knows what else. Under different circumstances, I might have enjoyed the book but at its first reading it was too much to hold my attention. I didn't connect with the characters nor was I particularly interested in the progression of the plot.
