" I was disappointed in the much-awaited 2nd installment of this trilogy. At times, the prose was redundant. The pace was slow, often predictable. At the end, I kept waiting for something major to happen. Reflecting back on the book, not much happened. I will finish out the trilogy but this is not typical of Dekker's usually fast-paced page turner style. In particular I found it hard to relate to the main characters. They lacked like-ability at times. In particular, the main character, Rom. "
