I had a lot of hope for this serialization when I started, but I have to admit I was  disappointed when I got to the end of the first episode. It started out well, the authors depictions of the aftermath of the violence that occurred where very evocative. I had a hard time though with Daniel's conversations with his GodFather. They just didn't seem right or realistic in light of the events and the sights that Daniel was surrounded with at the time. This first part of the story was engaging despite this and would have kept me intrigued until I got to the end and would perhaps have led me to searching out the next installment. The second part comes to an end far too quickly, making a tremendous jump through time to an older Daniel. There wasn't really any sort of cliff hanger here that would make me ravenous for the next installment. Instead it left me feeling sort of undecided about whether or not I'll take the time to read the next installment.
