This was a refreshing welcome to the series after the ink black heart. 

I'm fascinated by cults so I did enjoy this a lot.   But the average reader should be aware that it discusses tough subjects such as rape and torture and mind control. However,  I felt the final reveal to be a little 'deus ex machina'

This is probably going to be one of my favorite strike books.
