The descriptions of the places and people encountered were detailed and vivid, and the storyline certainly captured the imagination. The characters were diverse and engaging, especially the students. However, the pace quickly picked up after that, and barely relented as twists and turns (many of which were unexpected) were revealed one after the other. I found that the first few chapters of the book were a little slow to get going as the foundations were laid for the rest of the story. If you like your thrillers and mysteries packed with action and with a hint of the extraordinary, this book might be for you.
