Per daug veiksmo, tas veiksmas labaj vienodas, personažai irgi vienodoki, ir visi vyrai - moterys pasirodo tik kaip šalutinės personažės "bobos" ar "mergos", apie kurias galima juokauti, jas aptarinėti ar kažką su jom daryti. Tad skaitant nebuvo už ko užsikabinti, kad norėtųsi sekti siužetą.

Points off for too many names, and for making the political and religious history too convoluted. Solid story, it just kept getting bogged down in minutiae that made it hard to keep track of what was important.

I listened to the audiobook. I love Peter Kenny's voice, he does a great job. However I just could not follow what was going on. There are so many places and names. There are some boring parts where I zoned out and then suddenly something huge happened and I had no idea how the characters got to where they were. I think I'll enjoy it more as a print format

I enjoyed it, but it was a little hard to follow for me. I think that says more about me than the book though. 😉

Even though this book has all the wantings of historical fiction, could be true, could not be true, with wall creepers, something about it just did not call to me. My partner and I attempted this as a couple's read, and neither one of us really connected with it. Lots and lots of chanting. Might be okay as a show, and I give it more points for being extremely well-written. To be fair to it as well, I think we got about halfway through it, and it just felt like we were trudging through.
