Yes, the chaotic world of the story and the zany antics of the characters won me over. However, this story combines a delightfully ridiculous concept with an astonishingly nuanced character, who’s backstory acts as the foundation for a moving series arc.

Dinniman flexes talent and skill that only grows over the course of the series. And Jeff Hayes gives a performance that verges on profound. If you can handle creatively gory violence, do yourself a favor and make yourself sit through the early chapters of this book. It’s well worth the credit and the early rules dump. You will not regret it.
