I love Priest's work but on this one I wasn't as captivated as I am normally. The beginning of the book swept me in. I settled into the 1920's and snuggled in with the 2 main characters, Alice and Tomas. After awhile though, I started to get bored and the story just kind of dragged on. I preferred reading the chapters on Tomas more as Alice started to get on my nerves a bit. Luckily the end the story picks up with a whirlwind and settles down quite nicely.
