I really wanted to like this book ,however you are bombarded at once with a slew of characters and names that are impossible to track and remember. it is not very immersive and basically after page 90 I decided that I didnt care what happened to this dull group and their boring adventure. as it is Im out abit of coin from this experience and headed to my local used bookstore to trade it in on a non fiction book which is always more interesting in any event.
