Mixed feelings on this one. I enjoyed the overall plot, especially everything with Romana and Benny, and I liked a lot of the political maneuvering in the Chicago side of the plot. However, Dekker was a flat, annoying character to me, I really wasn't a fan of some of the ways Ace was characterized, and the misogyny got quite grating. I also found the climax to be a bit rushed.
