Five Boys

Have just finished reading this as part of a book project. While I can appreciate the writing style, it was not for me. I found all the different story lines very jagged (a bit like GoT, where you suddenly find yourself without the main character you hung all your hopes of a fluid storyline to) and the things deliberately left unsaid had me scurrying back through the chapters to figure out what had happened. I'm sure it's filled with clever metaphors, allegories and whatnot, but it did not sit right with me. That said, I found the Bee King an extremely interesting and likeable person - it's just a shame he appears so late in the story.
