As an introduction to Charyn’s work, this was a winner for me as even the minor characters have some interesting detail that sets them apart and lets them breathe, while the non-stop action made it a page turner. I couldn’t foresee a possible outcome; there were far more players than play, every character with an angle and intention. Sidney’s ability to negotiate the different personalities, threats and locations made him one interesting guy to know, and difficult to read with his chameleon-like ability to best situate himself in most encounters. A clever book that will entertain and thrill as you struggle to work out the mysteries within.
