This book delivers like few others in its genre and is sure to rise to the absolute top. The story is wonderfully coherent and consistent, it has an excellent portrayal of each character, and every character arc is handled with aplomb. The ending is the most satisfying one I’ve read in a long time. Not many books tie it all together quite so neatly as this one. Loved it. This author has earned insta-buy status for all his future releases. Bravo.
