A review by ecari
Der Schatten des Sultans by Patrice Nganang

1.0

DNF. I tried - I really did. The historical aspect of the story was interesting - completely new to me. But I found the writing overblown, the shifts in timeframe from present to past confusing, and - as a result - the characters to be flat. I made it past halfway mark and then decided my reading time could be better spent otherwise. Friends in my book club similarly didn't finish and hated it.
