I thoroughly enjoined this book. It started out a little slow but quickly picked up the pace as the characters danced off of the pages and materialized right in front of me like a great movie. The author did a great job with character descriptions and the story line. One I started reading it, I could not stop. The ending was great, just like a good movie, it kept me thinking about the story days after I finished reading it, wishing there was a sequel. John O'Riley is truly a gifted writer with lots of imagination, action, and color. His books are so full of magic and energy that they glow.
