Wow!! So good!!
This book is out of my normal genre so I really wasn't sure what to expect but I found myself totally immersed in the story and unable to put it down. The author does a great job of having a fast-paced style while also maintaining all of the important elements for a story.
My favorite part was the use of another language within the story to really add depth and knowledge of the author and the characters. It gave a lot of fruitfulness to the story and gave a lot of personality to the characters without having to do much which is a very strong aspect of an author.
Personally I'm a fan of quick reads and things I can knock out within a day and so I really liked the pace and length of this novel. I'll definitely be reading more of Pincay's work in the future.
5/5 for me.
