I didn't quite gel with the book. For most parts the book felt like it was two separate books packed in one.
The two storylines that the blurb mentions run separately for a very long time.
I would have liked to see more exploration of the supposed "cult". There was so much that could be done with the character of Mr Crowley. I would not have minded adding a few more pages to the length of this book just so that we could understand the motivation of the character.
Either I missed something big while reading the book or I didn't understand the plot properly. But the whole story felt quite fragmented to me. Several isolated events are mentioned in the books, without any connecting thread. This made the reading experience a bit jarred. "Where is all this going?" - something that accompanied me throughout the book.
The story needed to be more cohesive and maybe then it could have charmed me.
