![]() ![]() ![]() The third story line is set a few years in the future where we meet 14-year-old Konstance. There is another story line in the 1400s Constantinople where we meet Anna & Omeir. In Cloud Cuckoo Land, the first story line is in present day 2020 Idaho where we meet Xeno & Seymour. But, putting 6 characters across 3 story lines in a 600-page book seems a tad much. Martin & a few more have done it brilliantly. Writers like Brandon Sanderson & George R. Only probably 5% of the writers will be successful in getting away with it & especially if it’s a series. I feel that no matter how excellent a writer is, they should not keep more than 2 or 3 perspectives & parallels. ~~MULTIPLE CHARACTERS ACROSS MULTIPLE STORY LINES~~ Before you read this, I want to tell you all that I had rated Anthony Doerr’s ‘All the Light We Cannot See’ at 5/5 stars & had loved it beyond love! So, it pains me that I could not love or even like this one. It was a disappointment, but I am glad that I am finally done with it. On a whim, I decided to finally read Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr. HI Readers! Happy Sunday! As you know, I have a big pile of TBR. ![]()
