really liked it

Throughout most of this book, I was determined that it was a 5-star-read. It's a story that contains several very interesting characters, and it shifts between different time periods and situations. It was written in a language that is easy to get through so that you easily read through its 700 pages. Last but not least, I loved how it was so unpredictable and entertaining which I find necessary qualities in a book this size.
However, as I got closer to the ending the story started to unravel and become filled with unexplainable plot holes. It seemed like the novel and its author had lost their energy and pace, and the last hundred pages were too long and too dragging a conclusion.
In many ways, this book reminds me of "City on Fire" by Risk Hallberg, not just because of its size and publicity, but also because it is constructed in a very similar way even though it deals with a very different story. Nevertheless, I find "The Nix" to be a MUCH better novel that is so rich in quality and entertaining that you simply must read it.
