Great story. I really enjoyed it and got to the point where I didn't want to put the book down. At times the prose was awkward (in my unprofessional opinion) and it could use some editing, but all in all I'd classify it as a good read. James is a great storyteller and that is the strength of this book. I'll definitely pick up future books in the series.

seriously stunk - one of the few books I didn't finish... terrible editing and far-fetched situations.
