I love the story of Joan of Arc and looked forward to reading Joan as it was referred to me by a friend.
I think that Ng's writing is good. Some of his passages are very beautiful, but the perspective he writes from is very unusual for a book and it threw me off consistently in each chapter. It's an unusual perspective to write from in a book. For this reason, it lessened my reading experience and I found it difficult to follow because of the POV.
There are many promising passages in the book and I'm sure Freeman Ng's next novel will be good. He is a talented writer. I just wouldn't recommend writing a book from the perspective he's taken in his novel.
