I stumbled upon this book through a stuff-your-kindle promotion. It had an interesting enough premise, but the pacing was not the most consistent. Considering it was framed as a redemption plotline, I felt like not enough time was spent on the main antagonist, and by the time it got around to addressing him in what should have been a pivotal climax, the conclusion was rushed and practically swept under the rug. Additionally, there were multiple times that Spanish dialogue was randomly thrown in, with no translations, which would have been very limiting in print if I had not been reading this on my Kindle.
