Read August - September 2015

A satisfying set of books, though really just one story split into three volumes.  The first was pretty grim, especially in the beginning, when our hero is running with a group of street kids held in line by sexual abuse.  After that, it was more just clean killing, really cool imagery, with a healthy dose of character development and just a touch too much deus ex machina.    

Rating: 5, 4, 4  (I usually like the first book of a series best, and this is no exception)
