Getting pretty weird now! I'm totally on board for this series, though it leaves me with a lingering feeling of "I hope this is going somewhere." While all the stuff in the first 2 volumes is very original and cool and mysterious, I want to be sure Hill has an idea where this all leads. I've said it on here about a lot of series (most specifically "Morning Glories"), but the TV show Lost has forever damaged me when it comes to long-term mysteries. I don't want to be duped by a long, winding storyline that is shrugged off by saying "Hey! We can't know EVERYTHING." Yes we can. This is your story. You're literally making this up. 
 Anyway, rant over (FOR NOW), this series has that vague feeling of unexplained weirdness, but I get much more of a feeling from Hill that he knows where he's going. He seems to have a backstory in mind for the various supernatural elements and characters, and a lot of the action bleeds over from some so-far-unknown event from several years previous. The pieces are all there, I just hope he knows how to play them. So far, though, this is one of the most compelling series on the shelves right now. 
 Ha ha "on the shelves" who the hell am I.
