    I couldn’t make it through the first chapter with the several redundant musical elements used to describe the story.

    Definitely do not recommend. I couldn’t even finish it and I never have stopped reading a book before! The prose is terribly wordy with every sentence infiltrated with musical references to a nauseating degree, while saying the same things over and over and over.
  • Great plot

     I loved the storyline but the number of similes in each and every paragraph drove me a bit crazy

    It was a good story, kept me interested. There were a few small detail discrepancies and some repetitive statements over a span of just a few pages, as a person who is very detail oriented, this was a bit of a nag, but I like the characters and the way the story unfolded.
  • Intriguing

    Reading from beginning to end in one time is the best and encouraging way. Numerous thoughts and completion of failure are non-existent here.

    Way too repetitive. Needs an editor to cut through all the wordiness and overly dramatic descriptions.
