Não estava à espera de gostar tanto. As personagens estão bem construídas, sobretudo as humanas, os Fhrey deixam um pouco mais a desejar, parecem mais plot device que outra coisa. O enredo parece que não leva a lado nenhum, a início, mas assim que as personagens se juntam num local a coisa muda e ganha até um novo fôlego.
