I added this to my to-read shelf so long ago that by the time I actually started reading this I was afraid that too much time had passed and I would no longer be really interested in this type of story. I was right, but also wrong. While this was nothing groundbreaking, it went by really quickly and was a fun read. The plot started to get a little convoluted by the end, but the story resolved right as it was getting to that point so I wasn't really mad about it. I probably would have liked the story more if I had read it earlier, but I still enjoyed it for what it was.
