Super book. Reviewer at Amazon.com writes: It's got all the de rigeur elements to make it nearly perfect: well written, well paced narrative, sympathetic characters, love, suspense, drama, sex, adventure, war, death, real live shock value without too much gore, and a protagonist (or rather, antagonist) heroine so perfectly drawn as a charmingly confused schizoid that you either know or are someone like her.

It's amazing that it all ties together and doesn't overwhelm the reader. I was especially impressed that the book is in no way formulaic and that the ending is not predictable at all, and only seems to have a forgone conclusion, but not solution, in hindsight - reflecting upon all the various elements and characters.
