I tried to be fully invested in this book but I couldn’t get there. Here are a few reasons.
- Cedric the Entertainer narrated and while I love him, I didn’t care for his narration. There was no differentiation in the voices of the characters.
- There were several characters and sometimes hard to remember who was who. I had to rewind some parts more than once.
- The storyline goes back and forth in time and sometimes that became confusing.
- Some of the word choice was out of place. Some descriptions didn’t flow with the story.
- The ending seemed incomplete. There was no conclusion to anything. What happened with their marriage? The land? Was there another game? Or is that letting us know that they’ll be a sequel?
I wanted so much more from this. 3 stars is generous.
