******minor spoiler points***************First and foremost let me begin by stating that I received a free copy of the book from the author in exchange for my honest review. Thank youIt was a great a concept however it failed in the delivery for me.  The beginning did not grab the reader's attention; there was too much background without knowing who anyone was or what was going on. I would have preferred if it had started when Karsen's dad died and then provide the background when he was in his unconscious stage.  IT would have grabbed the reader's attention from the beginning.I was also a bit confuse in the middle it was just to much, Petr missing from work, then he betraying Karsen, then becoming this monster who we had no idea existed.  I would have preferred a little insight into what he was doing in his free time.  Gave us a chance to know that he was evil or twisted or going dark as it said in the book.The most upsetting part of the whole book was how Mej treated Karsen towards the end of the book. The woman you came to know would not have treated him so unjustly, he would at least be given the chance to defend himself.  What happen to the Jhikquae's opinion on truth, I thought that that's what they held most important. Why would they just betray him that way, without the opportunity of him telling them the truth?  AHHH!!! That really angered me.I will end with saying that for a first novel it was a great concept.  I would have just preferred a bit more detail in the middle of the book and not so much in the beginning.  I hope to read future books of this author as I am sure that they will be great.
