Ummm, what to say. If you like dark and twisty, lots of amazingly florid prose, complicated storyline, and gore - you'll love it. I like some of those things, but not all of them at once. Cargill sets up fantastic atmosphere and incredibly vivid word pictures. It is stuffed with mythology cleverly brought in, and very writerly. But there's only one likeable character amongst many awful ones, and the scenes are right out of morphine nightmares. I only kept going because I wanted to know what would happen between Colby and Ewan. However...this is the first of a series, and I'm not willing to go farther.
