I really enjoyed this satisfying conclusion to Adam Binder’s story. Slayton does an excellent job of crafting an engaging and thoroughly entertaining story. There were a few things that felt held back on such as everything that happened with Vran, but it didn’t feel underdeveloped, feeling instead like it’ll come up later.
