Argh. I read the first 60 or so pages and we have at least four POVs, two of which are really interesting but the narrative keeps switching away, and I can't tell what they have to do with each other. It's clear that something is happening, but it's not clear what it is or how it's affecting anyone except for killing a few people.

I was really looking forward to this book but the scattershot approach, which reminds me of A Game of Thrones, just doesn't do it for me. Other authors, like David Gemmell, Kathleen and Michael Gear, and Stephen King do it without creating so much confusion.
