NY Public Library electrified and turned into an arena for an intergalactic gladiatorial battle that happens once every 1,000 years - sounds great doesn't it?
It's not.
I'm really good at suspending disbelief to enjoy fantasy and sci/fi but this book pushed the limits that I have in suspending disbelief. The amount of plot holes, unanswered questions, ridiculous decisions and paper thin characters had my wishing this was a shorter book so I could have been done with it sooner.
It had some interesting battles and ideas so it does get a 2 star review but this is one I'd pass on.
