horizonous's review against another edition

I struggled with the writing quite a bit, for some reason it felt clunky and at times so incoherent that I constantly had to re-read certain sentences or passages to understand who's talking or doing what. On top of that I was very bored by the story.. I read a couple of reviews to see, if it would pick up and based on those reviews I strongly assume this just isn't for me.
