A review by euzie
Arslan by M.J. Engh

1.0

The first half is OK, but incredibly racist (of course someone from Kazakhstan would rape some kids what else would they do?)(first chapter - not really a spoiler), - I would be interested to see the response if the character was a US general who committed these crimes. i doubt it would have the praise it seems to get.

But when it switches narrator it just didn't work. The author tries to hard to have two distinct voices and what you have is

person 1 - doesn't really use adjectives
person 2 - uses 50 adjectives a sentence.
