This book was really fast to read, and the story moved along at a fairlygood clip. It kept me intrested the whole time. I thought it got a little long in parts and the others introduced near the end were just a tease. I know I would have liked to learn more about them, but maybe that'll be in a later book. It was intriguing, the thought of the immortals living amongst mortals and the repercussions thereof. I understand the Christian parallels but at times, these Oscars seemed to drag down the pace of the novel. overall very good to read kept me it are interested the whole time and I would recommend it. If more novels are going to be written in this universe, I would definitely read them.
