★★☆☆☆
I couldn't finish it.
I'm sorry, but I just could not finish this story. That's very rare for me. First, the book really, really needed a thorough copyedit. There are typos, grammatical errors, problems with sentence structure, and word choice issues throughout. The grammar and sentence structure problems in particular are so big that they affect a reader's understanding of the story. The main "chapter" requirement seems to have been word count. The chapters are no more than two pages long each, and they seem to break for no apparent reason. Perhaps the author tried to pad the length by adding white space? The story jumps around from one scene to the next with no continuity, fluidity, or connection. Characters come and go aimlessly, sometimes named and sometimes not. I think some pages may have been placed out of order--that's how bad the scene flow, or lack thereof, is. It's clear as I read the other reviews that they are talking about a totally different book. It sounds like the first version was better than this revision. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book to anyone in its current form.
