The Skinner by Neal Asher
1.0
I really wanted to like this book, but the author failed to grab my interest and make me care for the characters.
The world of was intricately detailed, maybe at the expense of the story and the characters it was there to support.
The first half of the book left you feeling confused and disorientated, you're dropped in without points of reference thrown detail after interesting detail.
Generally I like to get to know the characters and see the fantasy worlds through their eyes, This book had all the right ingredients for a great read and possibly captivating series. I just felt the story didn't fit together smoothly enough and lacked an engaging narrative.
