With Blood Upon the Sand by Bradley P. Beaulieu
2.0
I had some complaints about pacing and repetition from the first book, but they were mostly covered up due to my enjoyment of the story.
I think they were amplified here. There were still a lot of REALLY slow sections. There was still a lot of repetition and redundancy. There were a few times when characters just act completely different than we're told they normally do.
One frustrating scene that sums it up for me: Çeda goes to meet with at an arranged place because they agreed to share information about Emre, but when she gets there they end up talking about other stuff instead. Huh?
I like the general premise but it's just not enough to keep me going through this kind of book. I've had a hard time with longer books like this, so I might take a break and read something lighter....
