Second I love you Sam Avery. <3 Man of all time. I loved how his voice got translated. Omigod! He was a delight the whole time. In regards to rare fear, I was rarely frightened of this book. I did have a nightmare of the shadow people from the cold (heh) open but the rest of the book is like slow roll. Compared to Hex it didn't hit the same way, but that's ok! I loved it. Highly recommend it as a great time.
