This one borders on falling into the trap where it leans a little too heavily into the research and detail – which can be a good thing, when well-balanced with the narrative. In this case, it fell just on the right side, perhaps because some liberties were taken with the history and there was an attempt to develop at least the main character. However, overall this one fell flat, never quite reaching its potential across the board, and in some ways it felt as though the author was trying to do a little too much all at once through the character, and therefore not achieving it which is unfortunate because this did have promise and the writing had more of a punch to it, that also helped keep the narrative moving.
