Twelve Kings in Sharakhai

I REALLY REALLY wanted to like this book. So much so that even after the first 30%, when I knew I was more than a little bored with the story, I kept going. The opening of the White Wolf was so promising, but I was quickly lost. It took me at least twice as long to read 50 pages in this book as normal, I would just stare at the same sentence over and over. Then I would be confused by this sentence. While there are some beautifully written passages, the story line wasn't engaging enough for me.
