I need to know if Spencer is going to freak out or not! What's going to happen? Will Xian have his heart broken again?! Also, didn't see THAT coming, his partner is in on it! You can't leave us there! I mean, you obviously can since you did, but my soul!evil_jj's review

I'm intrigued. One thing that really bugged me, though, is how often the characters talk out loud to themselves, once when they weren't even alone.

I'm not as instantly invested in this world as I am in Kai's. But I will read the next one.
Reading Rhys Ford's prose is like parsing an Impressionist painting I'm often too close to. There's a lot of verbal color with less sense than I'm used to, and echoing, a kind of repetition, usually of an action, like a double brush-stroke over the same spot. Sometimes I have to re-read a sentence to be sure what was meant.
The thing is...
Now and then, a description comes together so fast it's like being hit by lightning. I can feel it. Taste it. it's shockingly visceral. That's why I read her work.
