Do you like steam? Who doesn't?! My face was red as firecracker in the midst of reading this novel! The chimera mythology tied to PTSD and the soldier created an unique experience. Normally, one would expect that the chimeran-man would transform into a beast instead of becoming three separate beings. Adding in a wood nymph, a VERY sensual one I might add, was a remarkable choice. Initially, I thought why a nymph and a chimera? But as the story unfolded, it made sense and the steam rose in the room.The descriptions were eloquent. I laughed at quite a number of places, which I won't spoil for others, but the comedic timing was dead on. Ms. Draven's choice to use gambling metaphors and terms while in the casino and continuing to use that theme for certain characters enriched the flavor of language. The ending has to be another favorite. Spot on. I giggle aloud at the choice.
