Decided to quit at 30%.


The combination of Inexplicable time jumps and not personally having prior knowledge of the Nigerian civil war made this one boring and uninteresting to me. There’s is no background given of the Nigerian civil war for readers who aren’t familiar with it like myself and the characters are boring and shallow since we jump around too much to get to know them and/or relate. The huge time jump was the deal breaker for me. This is a pet peeve of mine if it isn’t well explained and with purpose. Otherwise the gap in time seems like a cop out of just telling a good, well-woven story. It’s a shame too because the sci-fi and tech aspect of this book was really good and had a lot of potential.
