I've really enjoyed most of the Thoene's books. This one was also good, but I made the mistake of reading half one weekend and the other half a week later. When I picked it up last night, I had a hard time remembering who all the characters were. It took a couple chapters before I was immersed in the story again but then this afternoon I couldn't put it down. The ending created more questions than it answered but it was interesting.

The story introduces Tzadikim Nistarim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tzadikim...). This was my first introduction to this belief so I'm not sure what to think about it. It was intriguing, to say the least!
