Comments: I have been meaning to read this book for quite some time, and finally got around to it. I was a bit disappointed, as I expected the story to be better than it actually was. It is billed as being a "page turner," yet I seemed to go days without even thinking of picking it up to read. Parts of it were wonderfully written and really drew me in, but there were far too many things that didn't add up for me. I felt that some parts of the story were worth developing, but Jinks breezed over them to include more action scenes. Also, most of the secondary characters are introduced at the same time and I had a hard time keeping everyone straight. It's just alright, and actually a bit of a disappointment.
