Reiffen's Choice by S.C. Butler
2.0
[book:Reiffen's Choice] was a flawed book with a pretty good book hidden inside.
The story was extremely slow to start. I literally only read the first half because I kept forgetting to put more books on my PDA. Around halfway through the story, it began to get interesting.
Write his sentences backward for no reason, the author sometimes does. It was like being read a story by Yoda, or Mike Joy from the UFC.
The end was really slow and meandering and largely unnecessary as well.
Those things being said, there were good parts about this book. The world described is pretty interesting, and I would like to know more about it. The characters were sympathetic and believable. The enigmatic forces of evil remained aloof and inscrutable, which was nice.
If this book had been about half as long, it could have been excellent. The story, once it picked up steam, was interesting enough that I will give the sequel a chance to grab me before I give up entirely.
