Interestingly enigmatic and manipulative central character, some background locations and circumstances with genuine novelty value, a fast and exciting concluding section. 
The novel fails to cohere as a wholethe second and third sections seem oddly irrelevant to each othermany of the ideas are not expanded fully due to the books slim size. Some Imaginative Literature, Some Intriguing Metaphors Boring And Tedious Humour, Weak Backdrop, Frivolous Pratchett Each story is well written, a good variety and excellent foreword. Writing styles are very much an acquired taste. Some references lost me. The pace doesn't stop, Reads like a dream, Value for money None easy to read, fairly entertaining sudden dramatic endingNo Matter What - Debi Gliori
