Once again, the author, I feel, has told an excellent story! I appreciate his use of telling the story from multiple characters' perspectives. I feel it helps flesh out the world more, and raises the stakes when those characters have potentially opposing interests. And it was nice to see another genre added to his collection. Well done, sir. I look forward to your next works.
