Short Review: oh, this is one of my favs of this series. I can't spoil much, but i'm so glad that B got her revenge. More zombie on zombie fights! I can't believe Vinyl(?) let B do that, he was brave for sure. B's dad needed to get his shit straight, but in the end he was a better person. The scenes with Dan and B, ick. I could barely read that!

You know a book is good when your heart is breaking, but you just can't. stop. reading! I'm actually sad there's only three books left after this one.
Also that vengeance was very sweet indeed...

Dayum!!! Intense, painful and rather emotional at times. As I keep saying, the man is a genius. Plus Dan-Dan gets a Ramsey Bolton ending which is quite nice. Time to continue on my Shan marathon.
This was a very satisfying addition to the series. We get to find out a bit more about Owl Man and Mr. Dowling. We get clarification on Rage, and we get a conclusion to many of the narrative arcs that we've had outstanding thus far in the series. Dan-Dan is still one of my most hated characters of all time, and that's praise for Shan's writing. Every time he's on the page, you as the reader feel uneasy, slimy in a way, and he carries that through to this novel well. There was a large shortcoming in this novel (that's wholly opinion), but having this story be centered around Dan-Dan pretty much took care of the bigger issues for me.
That shortcoming to me, and the reason for the 4 star instead of the 5 star was the "family" plot line. There are characters that get off far too easily for who they are and what they have done, and frankly, are forgiven far too easily for my taste. It took me out of the book a bit because I didn't feel as though it was all that believable. It was too black and white (pun totally intended) and not gray enough for what the characters went through.
Shan keeps us on our toes with Rage's storyline however, and I'm really curious to see how that will tie into the remainder of the series.
