A review by scarletine6
The Cold Commands, by Richard K. Morgan

1.0

Much as I tried to find something to like in this book, I just couldn't. First of all the complete lack of punctuation confused me a great deal. My copy had no speech marks at all, just the odd comma and full stop. Bizzare! There were many 'Info dump' paragraphs at the start of the book, making it feel too weighty. And too much detail about characters who didn't really have much to do with the plot. I just couldn't warm to Archeth at all, and later on when Ringil was in the 'Grey Places' things got so confusing I thought I had been slipped some drugs. Shame..not for me!
