Title: Promising, but a no-go
Review: I really need to stop being taken in by the pretty covers before I buy an entire series. The cover is about all this book has going for it. Didn't even make it half way thru the book, much less on to the 3 of the series and the following trilogy. This book has a lot of detail that I like, but the constant jumping POV just destroys any sympathy or understanding you build for the characters. It comes unannounced and sometimes after just a sentence or 2, sometimes after a couple of pages. The author put a lot of work into building his world, but really had no idea what to do with the population. Maybe the next series, but unless I read some really good reviews, I won't be reading anymore of his books.
Is the review positive or negative?
