There was a great buildup of suspense and great pacing. The characyers were fleshed out nicely. Most importantly, I didn't know what the heck was going on until the author wanted me to. I mean that in the best way. Too many times I figure out the mystery too soon and am left feeling a little "blah" with the rest if the book but that was not the case here. The translation is also very well done.

I very much enjoyed this and will look for more from this author.
