The action kicked into high gear in chapter one and never let up. Layered throughout the peril and intense cat and mouse sequences was a plot full of mistrust, betrayal, and never knowing whom one could trust, with increasingly higher stakes as the story progressed.
Scott Moon also filters descriptions of rare beauty and poignant insight in his world building and description of the human condition, creating characters you both despise and root for, sometimes both depending on where in the story you find yourself.
To say I am looking forward to book 2 is an understatement.
