Winemaker of the North by J.T. WilliamsMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
I'm sorry. I wanted to give this book as much of a chance as I could. But when the ruler of an area takes a new "winemaker" into secret areas without knowing him, I had enough.
The author put in words why Sviska needs to do as told. But, he never gave me proof or a feel for it. There was no physical or what felt like true motivation for the main character to follow direction. Especially after noting he didn't want to do the assassinations anymore. So why not run? Give me something to go on here.
The first chapter is good, then the story slows to a crawl. I even noticed there were times things were repeated, phrasing the same thing in different ways. Sviska's to be an assassin, but as he enters places we don't get any feel that he's aware or eyes on things. Makes me wonder on his skills. He's a very boring character. Especially for one who doesn't know what he's to be doing.
I gave this book 4 hours of listening, and I felt like I was getting nowhere.
I'm sorry. I hope you enjoyed it if you listened to it.
