This book is long but there’s SO much that happens. It’s like a bunch of mini books in one. There were some really good parts that made me not want to put it down and others I struggled through.
The story line was easy to follow and I enjoyed that it went through the story lines of many different characters. The ending frustrated me because it felt so abrupt compared to the rest of the book but after reading the epilogue is made more sense.

When an author is able to incite emotions about the plot’s characters in me, you can say that I’ll definitely enjoy the story. This book has left me in a riot of emotions, throughout the story. The story can be summarized into a single word. It’s about POWER. The author shows the want, need and greed for the power that drives people to chase their dreams.
What may have started as an honest need to control one’s fate turns into a deadly and ruinous game for power. The story takes you through the life of three generations of the MacGregor/Blackwell family. You may start reading book that this book would have the villain, a lead, and a happy ending. Fair warning, if that is what you are in for then this is not for you. Kate was manipulative, ambitious, determined, conniving and smart and made the story all the more interesting with her machinations.
I am the past. He is the future. My great-grandson will take over Kruger-Brent Limited one day.
What I liked most in this story was that, this book was not biased towards anyone. Most of the books that I read have a distinct tone of the author, little remarks that make you like some particular characters and dislike some. This book does no such thing. You are given the story as facts, given a glimpse of their thoughts so you could form your own opinion about them. I finished this book in just a day. It was hard to keep my eye off the story, even for a second. So far I’ve read only two books of his but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed his writing as well as the fast-paced stories that he writes.
The foundation of Kruger-Brent and the journey that made the company and the family a power to reckon with is adventurous. The twists and turns would catch you off guard with the frequency with which they appear. It was an emotionally draining experience, and there were some moments where I wished the story would come to a quick end. But, I feel that the length of the story is justified as you get a deeper understanding of human nature and the lengths to which they go to get what they want.
I expected a dramatic ending where all the wrongs are righted or at least the people wronged are justified. The actual ending was more satisfying. This was such a delight and made me wonder why I’ve never picked his books. If you haven’t read it yet, I would definitely recommend you to pick it up.
