Oh look, an actual review.
I have a book hangover.
After my last stopping point, themes of this book have been appearing in my dreams, so last night I decided to read more, maybe a chapter or two (or three), but once I started I could not stop. While not a perfect novel, it really did everything that I was looking for at the moment.
