I didn’t expect this book to blow my mind, so I had a good time reading it. It was pretty fucked up, in that what-the-hell-is-going-on sort of way. That made me read it super fast, and I was completely absorbed the whole time. But when the reveal finally happened, it just felt really clichéd the way it played out.

John Rain might be trying to get out of the game?

And if, um, it wasn’t already super thoroughly marred. The Osage Nation, […]
