I don't know if I'll check it out, but it sounds like a great read for fans of the genre. Thanks for the review!

That is my preference, too. I like balance in exposition, and I thoroughly believe in "show, don't tell." Thanks for the excellent review!

This sounds like a pretty intense book (Niki sounds pretty dark), but I like fast-paced novels. The premise of this book is also interesting. I’ll add this to my bookshelf. Thanks for the review!

This book's premise seems quite near home. The fact that there are assassins sent to eliminate the movement's leaders appear like a modern version of persecutions in the former Christian era. Thanks for the wonderful review.
