Negative Positive
Title: Too complicated, confusing, unfocused. Needs stringent edits
Review: I stuck with Bombay Ice to the halfway mark, but after yet another new character expounding yet another arcane area of expertise mixed with Shakespeaean references, meteorologic hints, oblique alchemical echoes etc etc, I gave up. Also, hard to like or sympathize with heroine Roz who relentlessly pursues a possible murder through torturous sexual encounters in plot permutations amounting to a maze like the city of Bombay. All credit to readers who persevered.
