Adriana (JacklynSparrow) reviewed Really deserves to be read but, with the correct expectations on
Helpful Score: 1
This book provides a magical and sometimes bizarre reading experience, IMHO.
THE KADIN is (appropriately) divided into five segments. From my personal viewpoint, each segment had a different "reading feel" of its own.
Embark into this particular reading journey with your eyes wide open. Forget all your pre-conceived expectations of what a "love story" novel should deliver. This book does not follow convention, it breaks some of Romancelandia's capital rules.
There has been enough written in other reviews about plot development, historical content, etc.. Suffices to say that to me, the first three parts of the book had more of the intense, "can't put it down", awesome storytelling flavor than the last two. Although the last two parts were not necessarily uninteresting, they do move slower and include some unnecessary repetition. There is a bit too much "angst" for my taste. Lots of heartbreak and even what I perceived as character development inconsistencies.
Overall, this is a book worth reading.
