I picked this up to read between books, and I am now about to order the third in the series. It seemed like a brief read, and that is what it was.
It was a light, enjoyable book, not meant to be delved into with any depth. That is exactly what I liked about it. It shows you mystery, oddity, and a character with a past. Cliche, but it works. Not an old dog with new tricks. It is a new dog performing old tricks, which can sound insulting, but what I mean is it's a fresh, different perspective on something that has been done to death, and it does not ask too much of you. All you have to do is get buried in the story as it is told. You don't have to wonder about the 'why' of things being possible, because they simply are in the Nightside. It was good to see a writer tell a story, rather than offer endless explanations about the inner-workings of the oddities. I could see this being an hour long tv series on the sci-fi channel, much in the same vein of other projects they have done. That is what it seemed like.
I recommend it, enthusiastically.
