This was a very recent read, so it should be pretty accurate. This is the first book I’ve read by Mr. Mull, but it will definitely not be the last! This was an amazing book. Let’s start at the beginning; there is a prologue. And wow is it a kicker! Exciting, fast-moving, and mysterious.
But then after that, the beginning of the actual story is kinda slow. Not that it’s slow in a bad way, but… Once you get towards the middle of the book, it starts getting crazy. Like, wow. Action, intrigue, chills. And then towards the end… I don’t want to spoil it, so I won’t say anything. The characters are so great, even the villains, in there own way…
There are a few scary, chilling moments, but nothing serious, and actually intriguing. I definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good action and mystery book.
