2-13-10 Confidence Game by Michelle M. Welch - Fiction

2 - Mediocre. That's the best way to sum this one up. Too much politics without any depth or real background, shallow emotion, whiny emotionlessness. The characters are flat with no emotional hook for the reader. The politics of the world are laid flat like a map with no interest from any history and no explanation of true governmental structure. About halfway through the book I just wanted it to be over so I could start something else. There's barely a plot and I'm not sure even after finishing it if I guessed the right plot. I'd not bother with this one unless you have nothing else to read.
