This was overall a good story. Like in Beartown, Bachman does such a good job of creating the atmosphere of the town and getting you invested in the characters even when there are so many. He weaves the story together in a way that feels so effortless to read and keeps the plot going smoothly, and I enjoy his writing. I think the plot itself of this novel was a little underwhelming, or maybe I just found the subject matter of the first novel to be a bit more interesting, but I still really enjoyed the novel and do plan on finishing the series at some point.
