Scorpio is a book that I find myself struggling to succinctly review and give a rating to. I would give the first half of the book a higher rating than the second half. The blurb promises a lot of creative ideas. The first half of the book has a thrilling plot, which feels disconnected from the second half of the story, which is much slower. The characters are intriguing at the beginning of the story, but lose some of their complexity as the story goes on. On the whole, it feels like two books, each telling a distinct story, in the same binding, rather than one fluid narrative. It was entertaining and it was an easy read, but its disjointed nature was disappointing.
