One of the main reasons I read is to be entertained. This book, after a somewhat difficult and convoluted beginning, is without a doubt, very entertaining. There are many complaints about this book, the whole astrological schtick, the show don't tell critique, the halved chapters etc... And I have to agree with them somewhat. But the fact remains this is a good story, filled with great characters, intrigue, betrayals, blackmail, GOLD!!! It will not fail to keep you wanting to find out the truth, to keep you reading and guessing. I quite liked it.
