Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The setting is interesting. Dhaka is a fascinating character. He’s Duende 2077, of course, and he’s summoned to lead the revolution. Whether he’s really supernatural or not, we never find out.
Con:The story ends just as it starts to get interesting.
