I've been working on this little thing for longer than I'd care to admit. In fact I was totally ready to DNF it earlier this week but pushed through today to finish, and I'm very glad I did.
It had for me a slow start, and not a lot to hook you in. There was just enough there, enough of a breadcrumb trail for me to follow, that made think this would pay off. Jaqi is very much the 'common man' in this world. I wasn't a huge fan of her in the start but she grows on you. The world itself also takes some getting used to but as the layers peel back you really start to see the web beneath it, it's fascinating. I did not go into this with any knowledge of the 'type' of story this is, and I won't reveal it here either but I think it might be one of the better done of it's type (and I normally don't care for this type). Bravo.
I really enjoyed the ending on this one, I'm pretty excited to see where this goes.
