Oof, this book was a doozy!...I have some thoughts...

Firstly, major kudos for this being the author's first published work! As many of us know, it is not easy to get something out there into the world. I'm all the more honored to have a signed copy of this to make it all the more special. 

The story itself was a little hot and cold for me. Do NOT get me wrong: the overarching story was amazing! However, the pacing is a teensy bit off for me. I don't know if there was as much intrigue to keep me going. The breadcrumbs that I got basically culminated in a full on feast though and oh, did I eat it all up!

Minor bit of deduction just because I spotted a few typos and odd grammar choices. But, overall, this book was a great find and I honestly am already looking forward to rereading this in the future to see what clues I missed. Thank you David Eugene Perry!
