A review by ufcasey
Linesman by S.K. Dunstall
3.0
2.5 stars
I wanted to enjoy this more than I actually did. The concept was so unique - the idea of these kind of mystical "lines" allowing ships to travel in space and only certain people having the innate ability to fix the lines. The problem with the book is that Ean was the only character that was interesting to me, and even then I thought he was kind of bland with his total lack of confidence and constant desire to take showers. Then the second character/narrator in the book, Rossi, was honestly equal parts obnoxious and boring. His entire 'other side of the story' viewpoint was just filled with so many other characters that I didn't care about and I was glad when his chapters ended and we shifted back to Ean's point of view. I won't be continuing on with this series.
