This was such a great book in terms of its mystery and world building. Although the story left a bit to be desired, King's haphazard and whimsical writing style was uniquely entertaining. I'm excited for more.

An interesting premise, but marred by moral ambiguity and the typical King vulgarity, despite the high technical skill of the writer himself.
