Loved the plot and really wanted to like this book. But after 200 or so pages I found myself constantly wanting to see the plot move forward faster and knew I couldn't make it through another 700+ pages of it.
A ripping yarn but a bit sloppy. Not one of his best. Too many loose ends and padding that turns out to be irrelevant.
