Yes, a very long book. And it starts off quite slowly, introducing lots of characters and new things, which you know must eventually start converging. And converge they do, once the story gets going.
There is one honking great coincidence in this story which I hope gets explained as not a coincidence, but I suspect will not, and will remain just a coincidence to the end. In which case, it would be a strongr story without it.
But it's rolling along merrily. A tiny bit of a conclusion at the end of this book, but we're definitely still in the middle of the action.
4/5 from me. I'm not going to move on to the second volume just yet, I think I need a week or two's break.
Next up: Another random pick,
Jazz Funeral, the third in Julie Smith's Skip Langdon series, set in New Orleans. A freebie I picked up in February this year.
