* Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. *

I initially really liked the style of writing, but was mildly turned off during an early chapter when it started to feel as if the author was really quite pretentious. I nearly DNF'd as a result. But...I pushed through. What followed was a good story, albeit occasionally a little choppy. The primary characters, especially Lincoln, felt fairly well fleshed out, but some of the secondary characters were a bit over-caricatured. I didn't expect where the narrative eventually went, and was admittedly pleasantly surprised that it was a little less than predictable. I did wish for a bit more in the ending though. I could have used a bit of extension into the time beyond where the narrative ends. Overall, a fine read.
