I’m a big fan of converging storylines in literature. Carl and Assad were fun, but I felt constantly like I was missing out on something when I noticed this is the sixth book in a series!!! Also, a few pacing issues, and the book is way too long.

Unfortunately this one wasn't for me and I didn't continue reading for any significant time therefore, do not feel justified to comment.
It may have been just bad timing. Although I did not finish the book and don't feel justified to give feedback or a review I will still be able to recommend it to customers visiting our bookstore.
Thankyou for approving my request to read it as I have definitely been able to take something from it for referral purposes to customers.
