This was a strong start to the Pansy Resting on its Laurels series, it had that element that I was looking for and was engaged with what was happening. I enjoyed this as a opening chapter and am excited to read more in this universe. Joseph Lindsay wrote this well for a opening book and look forward to the improvement from this.

I found this book difficult to follow. Felt like there was no plan. Maybe it was just me, but the story just felt off. I am sure others may be able to get into it.

This book had great potential, but poor execution. I found it hard to tell if this book was fiction or non-fiction, as my understanding was that it was fiction, yet it was written as non-fiction and sounded like someone telling their story. You spend a third of the book following one man’s journey through starting in the army, to then jump to loads of random people being introduced, then it carries on about them. I’m not sure what the intention was with this book but I feel the author needs a firm plan of how the story is meant to progress as currently it loses the audience by diverting randomly
