.... so I gave up on it. I am really sorry to say that I found this dreary, poorly written and irritating. It started off well enough, with the main protaganist's family history explained, but when the action moved to the here and now, it all became very busy. Far too many names, roles and back stories thrown at the reader in a very short space of time and some of the clumsiest attempts to flesh out characters I can recall. I cannot remember the last time I left a book unfinished. I wanted to like it, I really did. But I didn't care enough about the story or the characters to carry on.
