DNF at 30% I had to give up reading this book. It was just way too much work. There are way too many point of views and main characters, way too many, DNF at 30% I had to give up reading this book. It was just way too much work. There are way too many point of views and main characters, way too many, as well as too much information to remember for each of them, their culture, country, families and situations. It is too much, too busy. Maybe actually reading it would have been more helpful, but I prefer audiobooks, that way I can do something else while listening and be more productive. With the audiobook it was very hard to remember who was who and what was going on with them, and as such, I couldn't connect to the characters or care. At some point I started to make a chart so that I had each character with some basic information about them at hand, that way I could check it every time the POV changed or other characters were mention. That was the only way to remotely follow what was going on. Like I said, way too much work. The thing is though, that I wouldn't have minded doing that much work had the story had a plot to follow or be engaged by, but it never came, and I am a very impatient reader. It was just random things happening and characters meeting. Too much work for very little reward, so I finally called it quits. It just not for me at this moment, maybe someday....more

I just can't keep going. I don't care at all about what is going on. This book is the resolution of the plot that started with the first installment. There is barely any romance here, there is no evolution or build up to love. The 2 lovers get together straight away and from then on is all about the original plot of this series and I just don't have any interest in it so, even though I am so close to the end, I just had enough....more

I can't keep going any longer. I have only listened to about 25% of the audiobook, and I don't care for these characters at all. There is no story yet, so that is all I can say about that. What I have learned about the relationship between the female and male characters is too ridiculous for me. I am giving up so soon because after 3 and a half hours, I can say I haven't enjoyed any of it one bit, I am intensely bored, and I am not willing to waste anymore of my time....more

I don't see this story going anywhere. There is no real advancement in characters development. Almost everything feels stilled. The series is simply not evolving fast enough for me and I have lost all interest as a result. We are in book 4 and everything is still superficial, the emotional deepness and tension keeps being but aside in favor of new action. Without a solid background story that matters and evolves, every new plot that we encounter in each installment feels unimportant. I just don't care anymore, I have been patience enough with this series, I am out.
I am not giving this book a rating because I don't think I read enough to know what I think of it as a whole. All I know is that I don't want to reDNF
I am not giving this book a rating because I don't think I read enough to know what I think of it as a whole. All I know is that I don't want to read about this kind of suffering, I don't want to read about cancer or any kind of prolonged medical situation, I just can't, so I am done with it. I understand that apparently after a while it moves on from that, and so I tried to keep going, but it didn't changed the theme soon enough for me, so I couldn't continue with it. It is a personal preference based on an aspect of the plot that it being treated here, that is all....more
I couldn’t make myself finish this book for several reasons:
1 - After the first 30% or so, the book became out of Actual Rating: 1.5 stars.
DNF at 75%.
I couldn’t make myself finish this book for several reasons:
1 - After the first 30% or so, the book became out of this world boring. The story changed directions and suddenly stalled. There were long tedios bits of repeatedly meeting people with excessive amounts of unnecessary information given each time. Imposible to remember or care about. I can’t believe it wasn’t edited down. I lost interest.
2 - The female protagonist is insane. There is not an ounce of rational thinking or self-preservation in her choice making.
3 - There is way too much use of foreign language. Am I supposed to remember what everything means? Are you kidding me? No way. A little can be exotic and make things more interesting — when used well. This much however, was simply annoying.
On a more positive note, the cover is very interesting, I like it. I admit, it was what mainly attracted me to this book....more
