and i know that this comment is almost a year old but i just wanted to say thank you because now im motivated to not give up on the book despite the fact that it is sort of hard to get through
Glad my comment helped! I really love this book series, but it is difficult to recommend to friends because of the first few chapters. Hope you enjoy it!
Honestly this is exactly how I felt about this book, and you perfectly articulated why I wast having trouble getting into it. I was actually very hooked on the cliffhanger in the first chapter, and then it switched over to a storyline with WAY too many characters with complex names that were hard to keep straight. I felt like I would need take notes. I then flipped through the pages to see when the storyline from the first chapter would pick back up and it didn't seem to happen anytime soon so I felt fatigued already, and lost interest in the book. I'll try again now that I've read your review that I need to get to at least the end of the 3rd chapter.
I started and stopped this book at least five times because of the beginning being so confusing. But I finally just powered through the beginning without worrying about it making sense and it all came together and I really enjoyed the book. Except for the Joost chapter but it makes more sense when you explained it like a TV crime show. Thank you!
Wow, thank you so much. This answer is extremely helpful. I started reading this book a while ago and I just stopped since I couldn't get through with the first couple chapters. This answer is extremely motivating. Thank you so much!
Oh my god I feel like I'm dragging myself to absorb all the stuff the characters are talking about. Can't we just skip to chapter 3? Or are the first 2 chapters really needed? It's so dragging.
I am actually very glad I read this comment because I thought it was just me! I have read the first two chapters to get a feeling if I could like the book as a whole once I get around to read it properly and I was not too captured, which upset me since I really wanted to get into it after all the good reviews. I hope the following chapters will be as good as they say. Thank you again!
Very helpful. I've googled "WTF is happing in SoC" too many times
