I wanted to like this book a lot more. I liked the premise - it just felt like the author didn't have the imagination to write a good, compelling narrative to go with that premise.

The exploration of fate/destiny as a theme could have been more pronounced and explored; the pacing was, frankly, wack. 

I don't know, for a classic, this is lukewarm at best.
