A review by eososray
Raiders from the North by Alex Rutherford

2.0

I did not like this story. I felt that I was being talked at instead of being immersed into a fascinating culture. I got tired of the.....hold on I need to find the right term......exposition. There was a whole lot of Babur explaining things to himself instead of actual storyline. Too much info dump and not enough incorporation into the story for me. And I really noticed that Babar was just a kid. He may be doing adult things but he's definitely only a teenager. It did not help me have any connection with him. I didn't feel anything for him but apathy.

I wanted to be transported and it didn't happen.

Though it has got me intrigued about the era and culture so I will probably head for a non-fiction or two instead of the HF.
