Before I reached the halfway point I had already decided that this book had not survived the second round of the purge from my personal collection. That changed.

I felt immense frustration through the first 45% of the book. Goyer wove together the stories of four separate characters but the "together" part did not come until the last 55% of the book. Once the threads came together the narrative advanced at such a pace that I could not put the book down. Prior to that I could have set the book down at any point because I simply was not able to engage with the narrative. After that things changed at a rapid pace. Even the quick romance between two of the characters avoided gag-worthy clichés and instead made perfect sense.

This book survived round two of the purge from my personal collection.
