Siqveland writes with fire & passion...

... but his characters are also convincing in scenes of quiet reflection, love,and tenderness. As events draw to a climax, the pacing picks up; almost every chapter ends with a cliff-hanger, impelling forward movement. Descriptions are vivid and colorful, and emotions ranging from rage to the sweetness of love are handled with subtlety and skill.
