It’s annoying how good Nathan Lowell is at giving us complex and realistic characters, ones that have flaws and make mistakes but also try to do the right thing. People are complex and it can be difficult to show that in books when one of your characters is the protagonist and others are just there to help tell the protagonist’s story.

This book did not follow the path of what I expected, I’m not mad about it but it certainly wasn’t where I thought it was going to go.

Nathan doesn’t shy away from hard subjects, but he doesn’t dwell on them longer than they need to.

I really really want the next book now.
