Critic reviews

"Holter Graham's use of a wide range of voices and emotions can't help but draw listeners in from the very first words. There's a sense of doom and foreboding, of expectation and terror as we try to distinguish the heroes from the villains, with the true motivations of all not revealed until the end." (AudioFile)

lots of characters

lots of characters.... you might need a map. or do like I do.... listen to it a second time

Power

It shows just how a lot of power can change a person life not always for the best

warning- n-word used multiple times

DID NOT like the use of the n-word!!! thought it unnecessary but this one was surprisingly good and layered.

good job writing this book

this book was very easy to listen to. had great punchlines all throughout and especially at the end very well written

Drawn out story

The story is too drawn out and way too hard to follow in my opinion. It was just not interesting enough. It got boring and I just couldn’t finish it.
