Despite the cliched title of this review, it’s absolutely true for this book. It’s tense and always leaves you wanting more.
I greatly enjoyed this book. I had heard about it awhile ago, but never checked it out. A friend lent me their copy and I've had it sitting on my desk for a few months. Finally got around to reading it on vacation and couldn't put it down.
I thoroughly enjoyed the tone of this book. While the premise is dark, and some of the lore that is slowly doled out even darker, the general tone is strangely positive.

Looking forward to the other books in the series.
And I will have to go back and check out the show now, to see how it …

And I will have to go back and check out the show now, to see how it stands up (not as good as the book, I am sure - but are they ever??).
