This was a great book, a bit different from his other works, but it still packs a great story, it takes a bit of time to get into, but, after part 1, the pace picks up to a comfortable speed. The characters felt like real people, and he really takes his time to make every character fully fleshed out. It took about 70 pages for me to get used to the fact that there are no quotation marks, but other than that I have no qualms
