The Protocols of Uma

The Protocols of Uma was provided to me as an ebook in exchange for an honest review. So, here we go.

I did enjoy this book. It read like it was doing a lot of set up for things to come. The story was interesting enough to hold my interest and whet my appetite for more. There are a lot of unresolved questions, and since it is the start of a series, has a to-be-continued kind of ending.

There are multiple story lines to follow, several different characters. None of which are there merely there to take up space. Each has their own story, their own motivation, and their own integral part of the story. Not a lot of action as yet, but again I felt this book was laying the groundwork for the next book(s) in the series.

I have connected to several characters and eagerly await the opportunity to see what comes next. I found Protocols..., to be more cerebral. I caught myself asking questions, such as; why did they do that? How did they expect to maintain this? I usually accept a story as it is presented, so this reaction was different for me. Not better or worse, just different.

All this to say, Protocols of Uma is a good book, the time to read it. But, be prepared to get caught up in a series that will keep you wanting more, and having to wait for the next installment. (I'm not the most patient person in the world but, what ya gonna do?))

Enjoy!
