It took me a hot minute to get into, but once the gears catch, Devil's Wake is a ride. The shifting perspectives had a short story writer's attention to character work. I understand this was supposed to be a trilogy -- and this one has an almost inconclusive ending -- but only the first two were written. Shame.
