Will have to mull this one over for a while. The body count was really high and the number of characters you could sympathize with, a bit low. It held my interest, anyway

Not as solid as Shadow of the Wind; meanders a bit too melodramatically in the 2nd act, but the magic-realism of the 3rd act redeemed the book. Recommended.
