3-4 Stars. I loved the characer of Koldo. All the BS he went through makes you really pull for him. Apparently I am not the only one to have noticed that the author has "found Jesus" and there is some religion thrown in on this book. It took away from the story for me as whenever religion is mentioned seriously in fiction I always feel like someone is trying to sell something to me. Just a knee jerk reaction that makes the read less enjoyable for me. If it's the author's gig then she can obviously go for it all she wants but I'm not sure I'll continue with her stories. Outside of the religious tones (most of which I skipped over) the story was good and I hope Koldo is in future stories (more Koldo, less church lady in the future mayhap?) as I really liked his character.
