I'm jaded. I must be. So many raving reviews for this book, but all I saw were its flaws.
I wanted to like this story of an immortal dog looking for his immortal owner, travelling through the courts of Europe meeting all the big names. But the questions about the plot kept piling up. Just a few of them: How exactly does the alchemy work? And how did the brothers come up with the idea to use it on themselves? Why does Tomorrow the dog-protagonist have to be a vegetarian? (goes against his nature) Why can Tomorrow see better than he can smell?
