I'll be honest, the cover really threw me off and made me have low expectations for this book. The blurb was definitely wordy and confusing, but I still decided to try to read the first look. Based on the first look, I think this book could be great for some people in a specific audience. However, this is not my favored genre, so I didn't enjoy it very much. From the prose, I can tell this is an intelligent book that involves concentration to understand.
