It is also clear that the author has invested quite some time in her research. The characters are well-developed, and their actions make sense. The writing is crisp and not overly detailed, and the tone is absolutely appropriate for this type of novel. Even the romance between Gabriel and Ming was nicely paced, and very realistically portrayed.Ī proof reader might need to go over the final version again - I did find some misspellings, punctuation errors and there also seemed to be a word missing on occasion. It was a nail-biting race to the finish, and at about 30% in, I couldn't put this book down, because I simply had to know what would happen next.Ĭonsidering that this is a self-published novel, I was impressed with the finely tuned editing the story appears to have gone through - there are no superfluous actions or events, and nothing is left unanswered. Twists and turns abound in this book, and it's a credit to the author that it never becomes confusing to follow along the rapidly paced events.
