I liked the characters and the author has taken care to include all flavours of emotions. (Much needed in the background of a post apocalyptic dark world!). I personally would have loved a bit more drama at places, especially in the scenes involving Frank, Anna and Jackson.

The world that the story is set in has dark entities which add to the mystery. The Coalition that wants to smuggle under its own local bodies, the mysterious order of magic do intrigue the reader. While the story has enough twists and turns to keep the reader hooked, a lot of detail is left unexplained. While it is highly advisable to not resort to explaining everything in a mystery, the first one-third requires the reader to do a bit of groping in the dark about who wants what and who is behind who. (I don’t know if it is just me as I am new to this genre). It looked like the author spent time in familiarising the readers with the characters over the various forces of this world. Not complaining, but it felt unusual. But readers like me would definitely appreciate the tautness in the latter chapters.

Urban fantasy lovers who like layered multi dimensional plotlines would surely like the author’s page turning writing style. I would surely want to know what happens in the second book of the series titled Eclipse of the Sun.
