I found this somewhat lacking in, well, almost every aspect. I adored the first book. I swallowed it whole, reading it in maybe two days. Seeing Redd dragged though. With every reveal, I ceased to be surprised or even care. The writing style irked me. The characters had little to almost no development. 
 I read the first half and skimmed the rest, looking for interesting bits. The interesting story-line followed Hattar. Maybe I should read the Hattar Milligan comic books instead. Actually, these books would make better comics than they do books, I think. 
 Anyway, interesting premise. Poor execution and sequel.
