Parts of this were very interesting but sometimes the bad guy was a bit too obvious and the good guys just didn't seem to be fully fleshed out enough for me to care enough not to put the book down for several weeks between portions and not really have a huge impulse to keep reading. It's a story of a motley group of good guys who vary widely from Amazon to Sami to shapechanger but it all felt like a lot of ideas thrown at the page, maybe two books worth and not enough depth.
Not a bad read but nothing I think I will re-read again.
Apparently planned to be a longer series than two books I'm curious about what happens next but not rushing out to find out. ( )

Since the story hasn't ended, I was glad to hear that there was a sequel. In reading reviews, I find that the second book doesn't complete the story and that subsequent books are not planned. That disappoints me very much. ( )
