A plot I think would be served better if all the characters were aged up a few years but altogether I thought it was neatly plotted, easy enough to read. However, the last few chapters made me roll my eyes a little

as Nico went from regular murderer to flamboyant over-the-top supervillain. A little silly for my tastes.
