A review by anna_hepworth
Heretic by J.F.R. Coates

Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.
I was reading this as a judge for the Aurealis awards; I stopped reading at the point I was sure that it wasn't going to be a contender for my shortlist.

This story did not hold together as a coherent narrative. I would allow some amount of unreliable narrator, but there was a point at which I no longer cared for the characters, and the plot/story were not sufficient to keep me interested.
