Review
There are a lot of moving parts to this novel and it did take me a bit to settle in and fully understand everything that was going on. That being said, this is a very active novel. You wont want to put it down. Even when you aren't quite sure what is going on, you will want to keep flipping pages to unravel all of the mysteries.
There were many surprises and the way that Harvey Havel was able to keep the pacing just right really helps everything flow naturally.
