The Last Illusion by Porochista Khakpour
2.0
*2.5*
Ugh. I'm really torn on this book. I really liked it in the beginning. The writing style is different and a little disjointed, but it worked for me. I like the modern spin on old mythology. But then about a third of the way through it just started to drag for me. I still liked the writing but it felt repetitive and I found the characters to be frustrating. Also I don't think the inclusion of 9/11 or the way it was portrayed was particularly well done.
