Review: That Dang IVAN!

I find myself always thrilled when I see another one of "The Chronicles of Dmitry Medlov" is released. With the end of the main Medlov series having come and gone, I find that this is the best way for me to get my Dmitry fix. With that said, this volume did not disappoint. Dmitry was off making moves with Elsa's father and the MPLA in Angola, while Ivan was...well being Ivan. The depths of his depravity and psychotic behavior were so well detailed here, that I found myself getting angry at Dmitry for loving his brother, and having any compassion for him at all. Because as any of us who have read Dmitry's Closet know, this compassion and love will come back and bite him...hard, despite the efforts of his trusty right hand man, Davyd. At any rate, I greatly enjoyed this thrilling read, and find that this is where this author truly shines. The gritty and violent scenes, juxtaposed with the complex relationships of all the characters is, in my opinion, what she writes best. Good job!
