Review # 2 was written on 2015-09-29 00:00:00 Amanda Alverez Posted at Heradas "How long would you have to live; how much good would you need to do, to compensate for one act of pure evil you'd committed as a younger man?" Very, very good. One of those books that I massively enjoy having read, past tense, but ultimately didn't enjoy while reading. It slogs, and turns its wheels for about 200 pages in the middle, but I see now why it was necessary, and it ultimately pays off in strides. Strong similarities to Iain M. Banks' Use of Weapons, except that it didn't rely on a reveal in the same way, instead slowly telling the reader what is afoot. It's subtle, but I strongly suspect that it's intentional. I picked up on it around 1/3 of the way through, and was initially disappointed, thinking that it might be a shocking twist ending that was too obvious and heavy handed. However, my initial assessment of the reality of the situation I thought I comprehended early on, was incomplete and less than half of the true picture. Ultimately, this novel is about redemption. It's a personal favorite of mine, and I suggest it to everyone.
