The thing I love that Stuart nails is pace. With his first short story to this one, pacing is perfect. Never do I skip parts or feel bored. Just enough detail, well placed dialog, and a feeling of connecting with characters.

Saying that, my two major issues with this one was the ending and the lack of details on charlotte. Without spoilers, the way people change so radically I'm assuming has to do with her but it isn't really explained if she has like a auto type power. Also, the ending feels like almost no consequences were done. Like I felt there should have been more results after what happened.

But overall fun and enjoyable read!
