Great start and middle. A bit quick on the close. Many interesting ideas, likable characters and an easy read. Made for a great time reading as I floated in the pool on vacation. Definitely worth a read.

Easy reading but with just enough novel ideas and twists of tried and trues tropes that it feels refreshing not hackneyed. I'd definitely recommend it whether you need a book for a plane trip, beach reading or just a little escapist sci-fi between your NPR listening and Mensa meetings. ;)

I like books where the pacing is brisk, interesting ideas and theories explored through action or active elements and the hero or heroine succeeds. Sure I loved To Live and Die in LA but more often than not I want to see the heroes win. This book has all of that with some interesting science postulated to boot.

Totally worth your time to read it.

Not bad but there are other fantasy detective/McGyvers series out there that are better. Pacing a bit a slow mid book but cranks up towards the end. Interesting "world" so I would read other books set there.
