You know, my review was on the short side... this read was not nearly as difficult as TTM, but I still had some difficulties with it, and to tell the truth, I really could n't put my finger on why.
Yes, the lack of embedded footnotes was part of it, which I mentioned, and I did spend a lot of the book wondering why such emphasis was placed on mister Barss.
After reading your responses, I understand that I should have done as I did with TTM and continued a running dialogue as I read, which is not always practical, nor even possible sometimes.
At any rate, I did look for Shattered City by Janet Kitz, now that I am aware of it. It is not available in e-form at my library, and considering it costs $55 at Amazon in hardcover, I can see why. Though I do see Kobo has it or under $10...
