I really struggled to get through this book because of how corny the plotline was. Would not recommend it, only finished it because I have a mental block against leaving books unfinished- the sunk cost fallacy strikes again. Seems like half the conversation/inner monologue in this book was characters saying "dammit!" and "what the devil!"- I'm talking DOZENS of times.
Any character development seemed unnatural, like they just suddenly developed out of nowhere- very inorganic. But again, my main problem was the absurdly corny plotlines. I know it's fiction, but everything was a stretch. Especially how all these grown men are obsessed with a long-dead woman named Cira and because Jane looks like Cira, they're obsessed with her too.
