Good ol' reliable David Stewart.
I enjoyed this story quite a bit. It is very tightly plotted and never feels dull. The characters are consistent and the world was very interesting. In my limited experience, David V Stewart has a very minimalist writing style that makes his work very readable. If you are looking for a good entertaining read, buy it.
I have only two real criticisms about this specific novel.
Firstly, I despise sequel hooks and there are a few (albeit only a few) little moments in the novel that have nothing to do with the main plot and, I assume, are only there so they can be brought up again in any sequels. That being said, these moments are minimal and I think that most readers will probably have forgotten about them by the end of the novel. Alternatively, these could just be dead ends or world building moments that I misunderstood as hooks, so keep that in mind.
My second criticism is that the descriptions of the city and the characters surroundings were sometimes too minimal and I found that I could not visualize what was going on. There is one action scene in particular that involves fighting in an alleyway and then out to the street that I got very confused about. I couldn't tell who was where or how some people were able to get away and where others came from. This unfortunately lessened the tension and I mostly felt confused rather than afraid for the characters, as I had to go back and reread a few sections to try and make sense of the landscape. I also fully admit that this may be a personal failing of myself rather than the writing, but I am an avid reader so I am confident in my criticism.
Overall, a solid entry by David V. Stewart. Interesting world, interesting plot, characters that feel like people, all packaged in a good readable style. 4/5
