The Blade Between

When it comes down to it, there are a lot of important issues discussed in Miller's book. Ronan is a flawed, complex, and (rightfully) bitter MC, which makes him interesting to read. The writing is beautiful and the issues brought up are relevant and pertinent. That said, I was confused for a good bulk of the book and sometimes that leads me to boredom, pushing me very close to “DNF” at around 45%. I pushed through and definitely see the merit in Miller's writing and the content, but due to the way the plot/book was structured, I found myself not as easily engaged as I usually am. Again, interesting issues, important stuff, great MC, just a tad bit muddled at points and it nearly deterred me.
