There are many things that are really subjective about this novel.The main thing that everyone can agree on is that this novel is "novel". With a plot and characters that do not follow clishe and manage to surprise.Everything else can be argued, so give it a try if you're bored and want a new twist to a overused trope.Now my honest experience with the novel.The characters are qute one-sided, with no seeming development as of yet, especially that is annoying with the main character. However, how the author utilises those same characters makes the read worth while.The beginning is slow, extremely so, but that makes the "punch" stronger. (Hard to explain without spoiling.) Here's a minor one.Spoiler
The beginning is excruciating to read, the author manages to put our character into seemingly unsolvable situations time and time again. But when he manages to solve those problems, the outcome is very satisfying. Except for the times when it's simply luck. But those are in the minority the further you read.
[collapse]This novel has potential. Especially the main character, who, at times, reminds me of Isaac (though scarcely and only in his actions and not in personality). In my eyes, being compared to the masterpiece that is "Isaac" is alone enough to keep an eye on this novel.
