Jago by Kim Newman

 Links for Book Descriptions: Goodreads & Library Things
 
I won this book in a First Reads Giveaway on Goodreads.
 
This book took me a while to finish because it is so long (my edition spanned about 700 pages and included a set of short stories that featured some characters in Jago).
 
There were a lot of surprises along the way, it just seem like twist after twist. Also, there are also a lot of weird stuff that happens that I did not expect (let me just say "tree people" and I will leave it at that). The twist that shocked me the most was one of the people Jago gets to join his flock of followers.
 
There are a lot of characters and sometimes it can be hard to keep them all straight in my mind from the third person narrative constantly switching what character it is focusing on. Like, one chapter may focus on Paul and his girlfriend Hazel then the next will switch to let's say one of Jago's followers.
 
Anyways, Jago was an interesting, unique read that kept my mind guessing the entire time.
 
My Verdict: Four stars out of Five
