OK - finished this on. I'm a bit indifferent to this book. It is starting a serial so it doesn't give away much. I guess I can live with that. But because it's not revealing anything significant, it means that I was focusing on how the authors were introducing the characters.
They have obviously attempted to give each character narration a unique voice. In fact, I would say they worked pretty hard on it. However, this meant that each chapter was written somewhat differently, making me feel like I was reading an anthology from different authors rather than a cohesive story. Also, I really didn't like a couple of the styles presented. Two characters in particular made me wince while reading.
I may read the next episode or two to give the serial a bit of a go, but if I can't reconcile myself to the writing I'll probably give it a way.
