And far across the sea, Zofia, a Persian princess and Alexander’s unmet fiancée, wants to alter her destiny by seeking the famed and deadly Spirit Eaters.

How many POVs are to many? I would say 3 tops. Maybe 4 if there is some weird 1 page character blabbing about the end of the world or something. But this one has either 6 or 7! Nope I didnt look. This one ended for me shortly after starting it. I was around 20% and I was just done. The slow pace, bland characters, and gag me with a spoon amount of POVs. I was just done with this one.
The story tends to repeat it self as well which became pretty annoying shortly going in to this one.
I have to say though I did like the story line. History with a touch of magic. LOVE IT! But this one really needed to cut down on the repeating and the POVs. In this reviewers opinion.
What really sucks is that I really wanted to love this one. And well it doesnt hurt that the HARDBACK is up for pre-order via Amazon for a whopping 9.99!

To many POVs!!!
