This book is beyond words. It will never be matched in action, twist and turns, and story building. the way the characters come alive is something pierce is an expert at. Now I must mourn that such an excellent book is done

This book knows how to do a set piece. Every achievement is earned. Each mistake has consequences. 

I need a Denis Villeneuve adaptation asap.
