Scorpion (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

2.5 starsI think my ambivalence toward this book is partially due to my tastes. I'm not a huge fan of fantasy or historicals, so this book was already at a disadvantage with me.I liked Kendras, but I had a lot of trouble feeling the connection between him and the other characters. I mean, the book told me he had these people he was close to, but I didn't believe it. The biggest problem for me, though, was that there was too much focus on politics, which I didn't care all that much about. It looks like that will be the main focus of the next book, so I can safely say I won't be continuing the series. Aleks is one of my favorite authors and this story is yet another illustration of why. I read contemporary. Period. In general, I don't care for fantasy or historical (or anything that feels historical). I just don't have the imagination for it. Yet, Aleks' writing sucks me in every time. The characters he creates just get to me. And I just think that says something about him as an author. I absolutely loved this book from cover to cover.
