First, there is 10 years old. I have the memory of a brilliant novel, panting, well put together. A leader Doeuvre I was recommending strongly.
And by the time its effect, I completely forgot and I wanted to read it again.
Disappointment.
The beginning is really good. With a crisp description of the characters, human relations, history.
The mission is very well supplied with good suspense.
Then the pace starts to slow, mired. Each chapter is a pretext to esoteric explanations and spreading culture that weigh in the narrative. As if the author tries to convince us at all costs of his script. While the ending falls flat and is relieved to have finished the novel
Yes, it's a good novel that is fun to read, but with hindsight, it is not THE novel he must at all costs have read.
