This was quite a fun book to read, with a neat plot and escalating threat until the final showdown. The characters have interesting foibles, and I liked seeing how they got on with each other (or didn't, so to say...).

I did feel that there was a touch of over-explanation through the book. The author has a skilful voice, and I don't think it was necessary for him to dip into so many characters' heads to get across how they were feeling. At times, it felt like the author was tapping me on the shoulder and pointing something out in an attempt to ensure I didn't miss it. But I'm the kind of reader who likes to form my own impressions and then be pleased or surprised when the truth is revealed at a later stage.

I see this is the first book in a series, and I'm curious to find out what happens next.… (mere)
