Helpful Score: 2


The premise of the book is fascinating, but the writing isn't all that great. I felt like there were a lot of cliche expressions and near the end I felt the author pulled a Deus ex machina. The main character (Harry) just seems to rely on answers landing in his lap that I didn't ever feel that he was ever in serious jeopardy.

I'm really not sure I want to plod through the next title of the series if it is going to be as mediocre this one was.
