The Liar's Key

My main barrier to really enjoying this book was Lawrence'a writing style. It's a personal thing really. I gravitate towards simpler, less rambly styles like Christopher Farnsworth- probably a reflection of my impatience as a reader. Some, however may enjoy the richness in detail. Alas, I found it tedious as I kept having to reread paragraphs to understand what was going on. In the end, I felt as if I didn't really have a firm grasp of the story. Also, the characters sometimes spout odd, modern remarks that are out of place with the time and world - “Christ on a bike?” I mean, do they even have bicycles in this world? Colour me confused.
