Relatively fast paced, made me want to turn the pages, which is always a good sign. This is the first Torchwood novel I have ever read and I found it a good representation of the characters that I am used to, and a nice snapshot of a time before half of them were dead.
Overall not super suspenseful, but there were some funny moments and very Jack moments.

With this being the last, alive/ zombie???, appearance of Tosh and Owen this was a bittersweet book to read but I did love it. I would have to say that my favorite part of Skypoint would be

the murder room feel of the latter half of the book

. However, it did feel as if it did a hop skip and a jump to the conclusion rather than being a cohesive novel.

http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1885088.html[return][return]Another pretty decent Torchwood novel, with an intersection between exploitative aliens and exploitative crime lords in the property market in Cardiff Bay, set just after Gwen and Rhys return from honeymoon, with Owen still dead and walking. Some nice exploration of the dysfunction in the Owen/Toshiko relationship (Toshiko gets to be on the front cover this time) and lots of reference to their back-stories which will please the diehard fan. My one gripe is that the supposedly Latvian crimelord has a rather Adriatic name ("Besnik Lucca" - first name Albanian, second name Italian).
