The Order

I was originally excited to read The Order. The problem for me was that it took way too much time for the story to pick up. That, plus being in first person (which it takes a really special writer to pull me in when it comes to first person narrative) – it was really hard for me to get in to. I didn't really understand the attraction. It felt a bit forced. I did like the world the story took place in, and O'Shea is a talented wordsmith. The story itself just wasn't for me, but if you have the patience, the story will pick up and you will have a good ending.
