I read this two days ago and already I can't really remember what the point of it was as it just swung from one plot point to another without a cohesive story holding it together. As in, by the end of the book, the characters ended up where I thought they would be by about chapter 3- the whole thing was about going off course, but it didn't seem to have any depth or meaning except that Jax figured out what she reasonably would have needed to know in order to do her job (which she doesn't even really get to START). The whole book is basically sub-plot and yet... I still think Aguirre is a solid writer. I enjoy her world building and characters.
