I found the characters very strongly realized and I was kept up well beyond my usual bedtime as I read on to the the gripping and somewhat sentimental conclusion. (I actually had tears in my eyes - that's how sweet it was!). The evolution of Angel/Scylla and the relationship between her and Marchey pulled me onwards as did Marchey's mental combat with Brother Fist.
My gripes are few: I felt that the repetitive descriptions of Marchey's drinking were a bit heavy handed, and Brother Fists contribution to the total outcome seemed a bit simplistic.
Despite these qualms, I highly recommend this read to all who love seeing a GOOD idea worked out with strong characters who eventually triumph.
