I listened to this audiobook throughout four days. It really started difficultly with the characters having a lot of background that I didn’t know. I looked up the author in Google, to see if there was a prequel I could read first. Of course there was no evidence of a prequel. I powered through the first three or so chapters in hopes of getting to a point where the story would take hold. The story definitely began to pull me in.
The story was very good and it took me no time to be engulfed by the legal challenges of the story. There are a couple of secondary plot lines that really didn’t work. Mainly regarding the mother’s connection.
Once the now engaging story begins to get really interesting, I noticed that the story has very little time left. I then assumed that the author had created a hook to keep the reader engaged into the story and on to a second book. I was very surprised to find that this was not the case. The story suddenly became to speed the reader forward to the end. This was uncomfortable to read and it seemed like it was not accidental. The story quickly came to an abrupt end. The last few chapters were hurriedly written. The ending was so easy to predict and came with no real surprises by the end.
Overall, the book is still very exciting and brings a lot of legal challenges for the characters. Again the book starts off slowly. I recommend that the reader take this in during the first few chapters. The story will be quickly reaching the center of the story line and will hold you in. The end is quickly approaching and will be an interesting ending.
