This slightly mind-bending tale is a fun exploration of what it means to be a part of story and what might happen when you miss your chance to be a part of one. I thoroughly enjoyed slowly getting bits and pieces of the mystery alongside and sometimes before the characters. I can't imagine what it must have taken to coordinate the various pieces both in the story's timeline and the reader's perception of the book. It truly felt like reading 6 books for the price of one in the best way.
I'm sure this is a great reading experience but if you have the chance, listen to the audiobook. We have a talented cast of actors that narrate each book with emotion, personality, and humor when it calls for it. All the readers were great for their part but I have to give it up for Dominic Hoffman. His Zachery felt like Zachery, his Dorian felt like Dorian y'know? It was fun. But the other readers fantastically use their voices, lowered and slowed with reverence, to bring you into a fantasy world.
In the end,
The line I'm taking with me (I'm paraphrasing):
Stories don't end. They merely change.
Moderate: Murder
Minor: Death
