I'd like to know the title of that book your referring to. I definitely see
what your saying about the plot itself. I was usually more interested in
the background story going on. I was somewhat disappointed by the ending.
I felt like he just endowed the villain with some super powers to wrap
everything up in the end.
The first half of the book I really enjoyed though. It was interesting how
all of the rules and failsafes from this "secret society" all fell into
place.
