I spent so much of this book with my opinions of the Hamilton's flip-flopping between hatred and love. They redeemed themselves in the end though, and I was glad to see them stick with Mungo. Stuart is a masterful writer, I love how he chooses to relay information to the reader and I would love to read more from him.
