Two Heads Two Spikes by Jason Paul Rice

I really wanted to like this book. It tries to be an epic political fantasy akin to A Song of Ice and Fire. There were some great scenes in this book and so much potential. A better editor is needed here. The story jumps around a lot in a confusing way with so many characters it was difficult to keep some of them straight. Not all the main characters were properly developed so now after reading the book I can look back and see which characters were most important for the storyline yet because they weren’t developed enough I feel no connection to them as a reader. Also, I couldn’t stand the way the dialogue was written with multiple people talking within a paragraph. It was way too hard to follow who was talking. Dialogue is very important for this book and it’s a shame the format was chosen like this. (If you read the book then you know what I’m referring to about the dialogue formatting). I’m not sure I will continue on with this series. I would like to know what happens in the story but I feel that I’ve invested enough time with it already and am just not enthralled by it.

I liked a lot the narrator for this one, ot was pretty cool.

the plot was dense and if you didnt put attention to the details you could get lost pretty quickly. 

what i really liked of this book was that the twists were so interesting and all the politicals affairs and such and the betrayals were pretty fun and edgy. 

its a little crude with some things, however if you really like political views in books you will enjoy this one.

An excellent novel by an extremely talented author. It is actually very close to 4.5 stars. I highly recommend this one.
