I would have preferred a little more back story on the main characters earlier in the book, but the back stories were set out later. I would have preferred a little more depth but I also understand that he is writing many more books with the same characters so I understand not fleshing everything out in the first book. I will DEFINITELY be purchasing more of this author's works but have to take it slow on disability income. Otherwise I would purchase the writers entire inventory from Amazon kindle store. Five stars all the way !!!!
