This book was entertaining enough, but it wasn't edge-of-your-seat drama until 2/3 of the way through. The initial chapters dragged a bit. The book could have lost at least 200, maybe more, of its 800 pages and been made more thrilling. Saddest of all were some really gratuitous romance stories thrown in for no real purpose. They did serve to make some of the characters look weaker, with really sappy dialogue, especially the strong women, but except for Abdul, did nothing to advance the story. Overall, though, it was a good book, especially the last third, so worth sticking with it if you're a little bogged down in the beginning.
