I read this book as part of the Dymocks challenge as ‘a book with over 400 pages’. This book was quite interesting. The start was slow-paced and confusing, I kept having to read sections over and over because i could not understand what was happening. the last third of the book was quite different, much more fast paced, very gripping, and less confusing because i was accustomed to the language. I still found some parts toward the end hard to understand, because some things were not said outright and only alluded to. The book finished very strong and I would love to read the next one, but it does lose part of a star for being so confusing. I feel like the plot changed many times, which is something I liked.
It went from Robert getting into Radcliffe, then being accepted there, then being allowed to fly, then his relationship with Danielle, and basically just kept developing.
It felt like a nice drawn out armchair story. I also did not expect some of the
sex scenes but they added more depth to the characters.
. It was very very enjoyable and i’ve never read a book where men are oppressed. It was a thoughtful, well written and interesting book! Read 10th-13th jan.
