Steven's writing style, word choice, and sentence flow carried the story from chapter to chapter and kept drawing me deeper into the story. I loved the setting of David's bookshop and how she drew in the books in the store into the storyline. Can't imagine any booklover not enjoying this. One of my favorite scenes was towards the end when David was playing the piano and drew Tiana into duets with him and they played many older songs through the different time periods which David had lived.
The plot is intriguing with plenty of action as David connects with 4 other (unknown to him) longevites. The character development is excellent as each of the major and minor characters is quite unique and has their own strengths and weaknesses.
