I never thought a city builder story could be so entertaining! I must say this is one of the best stories that I’ve read. The author does a fantastic job in offering a rich environment without bogging you down with details. The characters are believable and have growth. The relationships between the various characters feel organic and actually make sense, not forced nor exude the plot-device feel. There is a well balanced amount of action and drama, seasoned nicely with humor that adds and not distracts from the story. I eagerly await the next book!
Additionally, I did listen the audio book. I must say Jeff Hays did a fantastic job in bringing life and entertainment to this story.
