I read all the parts, comprising the whole book. This review only appears on the last part but applies to the whole book.The story is engaging, with some nice good vs evil that evolves over the pace of the story. The lead character has flaws and they play well into the plot. The mix of characters works well, especially as they are developed in the last portion of the book.The editing is good, and I found very few typos. However, I think an external editor would chop away some of the heavy handed narrative. I found the narrative to be distracting at times, especially when the main character became introspective during interaction with other characters. For example:Character A: "Why did you do this?"Main character: 3 pages of introspective narrative, sometimes leading nowherethenMain character: ...responds to the question 5 minutes laterCharacter A: "Oh."If I did this in real life, I would have no friends, and probably would be booted from work. It also makes for a real long book.All in all, a good experience. I look forward to the sequel. In fact I'll look at other books by this author if there are any.
