I enjoyed this book. I rate it a 3.5. The plot is intricate and engaging and involves some interesting characters and plot developments. The Erast Fandorin character is not as well-developed or as confident, especially in the beginning of the book, as he will become by The Coronation, so it is interesting to see the growth of the character.

The ending is certainly a shocker. This is first of a series, and as it is part of a series and not a trilogy, it does not leave you hanging sso that you must read on to finish the story line. I like series but not trilogys.
