A review by rachelcdm
Invictus by Ryan Graudin
3.0
This is such a hard book to review.
I LOVED the beginning.
I LOVED the end.
And I LOVED so much about the characters and the setting and the confusing timelines and the thievery and what not.
But there was just a whole chunk in the middle that seemed to flounder. The pacing was slow and a bit all over the place, that at one point I struggled to pick the book back up.
So I’m stumped as how to rate this. Typically, I’m a big fan of Graudin’s work and I want to say I’m a big fan of this book. It’s got some great humour and some lovely prose. (Some cheesy, purple prose as well if you’re into that sorta thing. Which I AM.)
So... yeah. It’s definitely somewhere in the 3/4 star range?
I recommend it if you’ve read any of Graudin’s stuff before and are a big fan of Firefly/Doctor Who mashups. :)
