The character development in this was rather quite impressive. At first I kept thinking I might quit the book due to my extreme dislike of our main character. However, there were a few things that kept me giving it a chance and boy am I happy I did. Due to quite a bit of potentially triggering storylines I wouldn't recommend this book to everyone, but if you're looking for a story with a solid antihero who grows on you and makes you begrudgingly start to care, to full on rooting for him - this is your book. I know I can't wait to read more in this series and see how Corwin does with future installments.
