Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The author does a good job of introducing background a little bit at a time so we never feel we're reading an infodump, yet by the time "Arnold" reveals himself, we've learned an awful lot. We're surprised, but we know exactly what he is.
Con: There's no plot to speak of. Castle isn't trying to do anything but endure, nor does she make any real difference either.
