Well, for the second time today I was pleasantly surprised by a book. I kept expecting this book to slow down and get boring eventually, but that never actually happened.
Definitely could see the influences of 19th century Russian literature, especially in the character of Amalia and Zurov's hate-love with her which reminded me of Nastassya Filippovna and Rogozhin from The Idiot.
Okay, I guessed at the end, but I was still pretty happy that the author had the guts to write that. I love how the plot started out with some minor little event and turned into a global conspiracy.
