This book started so well. Fast, edge of your seat action and intrigue with lots of twists, but it kind of died out in the middle. I almost decided to put it down because after a big reveal, the story lost its momentum. It did pick up again right at the end, but it mostly felt like the first half of a great story, but just not entirely fleshed out in the second half.
