pinenoodle 's review for:

Far from the Light of Heaven by Tade Thompson

3.0

---

I liked the story the authors was trying to tell, but this book has too many point of view characters and too little time spent on each. The book began seemingly with a single POV, but as the book went along more POVs were added, up until nearly the end of the book, with the characters introduced earlier rarely returning to their POV. It made it hard to get into any of their stories. Also, most of the POVs began with flashbacks, often deep into that character's past. The story felt bogged down at times instead of going forward.
