Though he's not the main character, it's always interesting to read about poor old Dr. Guillotin; the scene where they test the prototype of his infamous machine was done well. I might have enjoyed this story more if I'd read the previous books in the series; I had no idea it wasn't a standalone novel. Even so, this book was entertaining and I don't regret the time it took to read.
A fantastic 3rd entry in a very cool series. Just like the previous two books, Daniels expertly blends history with the supernatural and occult. Can't wait to read the next two in the series!
