The sheer amount of cultural references is mind-boggling! Praetor Judy and Ozzy mentionings are especially precious to me :D And I kept comparing Kol'daar to Cass (no mention of Supernatural, darn it!) - a bad-ass when he wants to be, but cute and adorable and kind and sometimes clueless.

Anyway, the story was heading for full 11 stars when things started going south around the last 20%, or after the Final Battle to be precise (during its final half-hour, to be even more precise). That's when the author quit crazy and spontaneous, turned on a drone and started explaining and over-explaining.

The most important mystery in the book: The burrito incident. Someone specifically targeted Nunzio. was never revealed.

In the end - 4.5 stars. ( )
