Mason N. Forbes takes on some very daunting themes and subplots within his novel, The Strontian Factor. The reader has to be ready to make those leaps into religious and supernatural aspects while also being able to keep it in its crime/mystery genre.I found our protagonist, Jamie Strachon to be a very dynamic and fully developed character the readers can appreciate for his talents and liked for his charisma. The language is sophisticated, but it keeps moving at a rapid pace - keeping along with the high-stakes nature of the storyline. There were several climactic moments where I felt like I needed to get through reading before I put the book down - but that only lead me to another high point. Settings and emotions were expressed vividly by the author, lending to his expertise as a meticulous writer who never neglects the details. I enjoyed every page of this novel - especially the unexpected turn of events toward the end of the book. The Strontian Factor is definitely a hit and does not disappoint!
