titusfortner's review against another edition
3.0
I find myself often giving reviews where I say the premise was great but the execution was a problem. For this one it's the opposite. I very much dislike epistolary narration, and the whole concept of shadow-governments and secret world-running cabals doesn't really hold up for me after 2016, so it's a huge stumble from the get go. That said, I enjoy listening to Sword and Laser podcast, and was determined to give this a shot, and I'm glad I did. The ideas were fun, I liked the characters, and the story twists were interesting.

I got a kick out of Mr. Merritt's epistolary tale of a hidden society managing world events to keep their secret safe. I listened to the audio version of the story with several narrators. Production quality is excellent and kept me interested in a story that leaps around the world with multiple points-of-view. I was a little shocked at the way the story ends. I had to take a moment to process events before continuing to the final chapter. Overall, an entertaining and enjoyable read. I received a free copy of the audiobook from the author for review.
