It was fine.

I’d pre-ordered this, with some trepidation as I’d (somewhat unreasonably I admit) taken against in Michael Wood for killing off half my favourite characters in another series (I DID say I was being unreasonable!) Anyway, I decided I’d get over myself and give his new series a go.

Having done so I have so many nitpicking niggles with it, with Olivia herself as a character, with her practice, the sex scenes …but basically it’s an ok book, overwritten and far too long, but ok. I didn’t love it and I don’t think I’ll be reading the second in the series, I certainly won’t be pre-ordering it. I realise I’m not being overly detailed about why it wasn’t for me, but I don’t want to leave spoilers.

The narration however was great. I had to speed it up just to get through it, but that wasn’t down to the narrator, just the length of the book and my desire to get through it.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
