Into the Fire

This is an entertaining series, and the rating doesn't reflect that. The problem is that with suspense novels working at breakneck speed, there is an issue with length. This story is complicated–or, more accurately, multi-layered– and that works against the sustaining of pace and suspense. Hurwitz juggles these elements well, but the peeling back of the layers erodes the suspense. I was left with an “Oh, c'mon!” reaction. Nevertheless, it was absorbing enough that I just got the next two in the series.

Wow! I could not put this book down and read it less than a week! What an awesome story and what an ending. I can't wait to read the next book!

First half was better than the second half.

The battle at the climax of this story was epic. It was a long time coming, but it was well written and it should have a serious impact on the next book. Well done!

Tough one here. The book is broken up into smaller subplots, unlike his other books. This style is not my favorite as there are smaller buildups to the finallies. The being said I think it contains the best fight scene of any of his books... And easily the best last line of a book!
