It was a hot summer afternoon when I finished this book. The sun was at its peak, bringing both brightness and heat to the world around me. A light breeze (if you could call it that), courtesy of the fan whirring over my head tried to provide some relief to the otherwise unrepentant and excruciating heat. And yet as I finished the final words of this book, the first part of a trilogy that at once promises a lot and better still delivers it, all I could hear was the gentle whirring of that fan an ...more
