I picked up this book because I had read another by the same author.
I think that this book could have been better if it had been twice as long, giving the author more time to flesh out the characters and stories.
Reading it, I felt like I had tuned into a tv series after about 2 seasons and i was trying to figure out who was who. The connections were explained in the book but were rushed and I did not get a good feeling for the hows and whys of the story.
I almost forgot that I had read this until I saw the library book sitting on the floor.
