And then we will have a pivot again to probably a focus on different characters, and maybe a jump in time.

When he’s not busy describing the body shape of everyone around him, Kylar is cracking jokes aplenty, many times at his own expense. Even though Night Angel Nemesis is over eight hundred pages, almost every page holds readers’ attention.

Because as a reader I had felt so betrayed by trilogies that…that the first book comes out the gate and you’re like this is amazing…and then second book sort of nothing happens, and in the third book the finale is interesting but you’re like man, that was like one and a half books that I got out of there.
