This one is a hard one to rate, how well I liked it depended totally on what page I was reading. I spent the first half of the book wondering why so many people rated it so high. It seemed disjointed and somewhat confusing as the chapters jumped from Leda, the heroine, to Samuel's "family" to flashbacks of Samuel's life growing up. I had to make myself pay attention when there didn't seem to be much reason to.
About half way through, however, it did start to smooth out. All the bouncing around became more clear, making the plot much more interesting. From there, I really enjoyed the story. The depiction of Samuel, his character, his insecurities and the somewhat skewed way he looks at life because of his past is written with so much insight and understanding that one cannot help but love him. While I still am not a die-hard fan of the martial arts aspect, at least I can see why so many love this book.
3.5/5.0
