Carl and Eddie are so central to the stories of the Restoration, yet their backgrounds have always been shrouded in mystery. Finally, in Novices, through the eyes of Joe Mitani of the mysterious Rydder Institute, we get a peek behind the veil and begin to learn what forces helped turned these boys into the fascinating men they become. If you haven’t yet discovered this amazing series, you are doing yourself a disservice. It’s our world, but not. Each of the stories has drawn me in and I can’t help devouring it and wanting more. The world is compelling and the characters are gripping.
One of the things this author does that truly delights; so many of the characters, no matter how tangential, feel as if they have a back story just waiting to be told. Nobody feels like a walk-on cardboard cutout. That’s a rare gift.
In the interests of disclosure, I was given a copy of this book in return for a fair review. That didn’t influence my opinion. I’ve purchased every other book in this series and come back for more.
Novices is due out June 23rd. Go get it!
