- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated

- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

If you like books that leave you wondering "What did I just read?" then look no further.
I do like the ominous and creepy vibe showcased through the books formating but my head was spinning by the end of this novel.
I read the others in the series and several of Jeff's other books. SO FAR this has been my least favorite- yet, again, I could see how the complex plot, multiple timeliness and dimensions and twists and turns could be enjoyable for some one else. Overall, not bad, worth the read but not something I'd come back to.
