Small town politics
The first look is already an intriguing one, I liked Willow right off the bat, and immensely disliked Carel Geische just as equally. Something about him is squirrely and exploitative. The writing style is smooth and quick paced, moving the plot along nicely and it’s mired in small town politics, which can be wont to flare up into dangerous situations. It sounds like it’s going to be a really good book.
