This book has it all; action, plots, highly developed characters who come in all shades from good to evil. Most books tend to have 2 dimensional evil characters but not this one. They are fully developed so that you can hate them while loving the other characters. I'm at pg 498 with the ending at 973. Every sentence is a delight, even those that horrify.
