This book is surprisingly more readable than I thought. I have to admit I was warned--I should be keeping an annotated list of characters--they are confusing, not just because there are so many of them, but also because almost every character has title, first name, last name, and nicknames. But, that is just too much work. That is not the real reason I'm taking it in 50 page sections, though. The print is really fine and makes me and my eyes tired.
I have also finished The Hidden, by Heather Graham. Stayed up late last night finishing this. It varies from Heather Graham's usual formula a little. My favorite difference is that we get to revisit a number of characters from former novels in the series. One of the reasons I enjoy these novels is that I get to revisit places I saw on my numerous solo camping trips throughout the country. I didn't spend long in Estes Park, but I did find a marvelous micro-brewery there at the foot of the Rockies. I'd never been to such a place before--I went looking for food (which I found) and had 2 or three taster glasses of different brews. All while surrounded by picture windows looking out on the forest. A delicious experience, as was reading this story.
