Frustratingly dumb characters

The characters are idiotic. The plot is mind numbing, I forced myself to finish, as the book occasionally gets interesting. The back and forth between our mains gets old and is childish.

The Monks more than most, actually live with and breed dogs, and have deep understanding of dog psychology.

It’s the kind of book that you hope they turn to a film, and hope they don’t mess it up.

I got bored pretty fast, I finished it but felt the character not engaging enough.

Fictional lit RPG from the perspective of NPC’s, with a parallel storyline from the players.

How much I did not know about the Chinese cultural revolution. An awful time in China.

Absolute power corrupts. I drew parallels to the young of today being indoctrinated the same way the Chinese revolution did. Coach the young, plant seeds of discontent and unleashed without laws. Sanctioned murder and mayhem. I wanted to know more this horrific period of history after it’s briefly illustrated in the 3 body problem series. Anyone who thinks differently is persecuted, suffering beatings and public shaming. 1000s committed suicide, or were jailed and beaten. This book is an excellent primer to this subject.

Pave was off, too many similarities in character names. Felt like I needed to keep notes. I see what the author was going for, not my cup of tea.

There were many points about this book I liked but occasionally the foresight was lacking, these types need to be whip smart, equal to the villains. So much los due to neglect and naïveté.

Overall I was bored with pacing and character development and jumping story line. Perhaps if reader had used an obvious voice change it would have listened better.

Through the whole book. I never really bonded with main characters. I wanted more, I kept waiting to get into the plot, the drama.
