Review: Wait, waht?

Matt the once-dead man stumbles into a little timelost town where a demon lords over two warring clans -- and by solving one problem, he manages to cause an even greater one.To my mind, this is the least impressive of the first five installments. The plot twist halfway through makes absolutely no sense to anyone giving it even ten seconds of thought, and the portrayal of the warring clans as cliched yokels is almost inappropriately comical.This installment also introduces a persistent problem with Matt's mysterious ability to sense the evil in others (by seeing them as rotting). As established in the first book, Matt can see the "soul rot" even when those people aren't actively doing anything evil. Here, we get the first instance of the "Matt only sees the evil when it's convenient for the plot" flaw that will recur in the series.
