Opinion:
Small Favor was an enthralling book. It kept me on the edge of my seat at all times. Although I haven't read any others in the series, the author does a good job of letting you know a little of the history of each character. After a slow start, it just pulled me in and I couldn't stop reading. I would suggest this book to anyone who appreciates Sci-Fi or Fantasy novels.
