It was interesting reading this after Mister Magic and seeing the through-lines between them. This feels like a messier attempt at the themes that Mister Magic explores, but the premise and characters here are incredibly strong.

I Hated all the characters, they didn't have any personality except for the stereotypes.
None of the characters had any chemistry with eachother.
The ending sucked.

A very quick read, the characters are well-fleshed out and the lore of the world is quite interesting. Unfortunately, the pacing was inconsistent. The dread never really gets a chance to settle and once you hit about the middle of the book, there is no time to even feel the increasing pressure of the impending deadline.
