Sigil

by Addison Cain

[Caitiebelle]

Ok I'm afraid I am one of *those* people who did not manage to connect with this series. That said I have read half of book 2 ([b:Sovereign|33229361|Sovereign (Irdesi Empire #2)|Addison Cain|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1480719718l/33229361._SX50_.jpg|53561379]) and I still can't finish it.

Here's why. And you might wonder why I'm giving it 3* when I can't completely connect? Because I do think that the world building is very good - the world the Author has created here I can picture and see, I think there is great imagination used here and that takes it from a 2* to a 3* for me.

But as I said I just could not properly connect. I have seen some who think there is too much fighting, violence and unnecessary mutilation.... I don't have any issues with this.

Yes it's a book with scenes that are not for the feint of heart - so do be warned, the book is psychologically triggering in many areas - I def. read it with a higher pulse than normal in many section, it had me at the end of my chair some places - but I still felt too lost.

That said I am not normally a Sci-fi reader. I'm very new to the category, and you could argue that maybe Sigil was not the best choice to go for as an "introduction" hehee.

But it was recommended all over the place. It's not a BAD book - it's just not...I guess it's just not up my ally just yet. In the future I will most likely re-read it and will then update the review after I re-read it, but for now it's stuck on 3*.

As for my confusion - this has most likely a lot to do with what exactly Sigil is. Now when you read this book you can not imagine her as a human being, she might look human - but she is in fact a clone which a LOT of different alien DNA - she was made for a specific purpose.

As long as you keep that in mind and don't put human morals ahead - you might be less lost and find some of her behaviour less ...odd.
