What I learned from this book.

Revisado: 11-21-18

So for starters, Adobe's story was basically an inverse on the "chosen one" story in that instead of being prophesied Adobe basically lucks into her position of being the key to the dybbukim's return by holding onto the Light as an act of defiance against the Paladins and thus inadvertently dooming the world. From there on out, it's one coincidence after another that forces Adobe to think up solutions on the fly and you really get the sense of just how in over her head she is. Adobe is flawed but still sympathetic and I thought her stuttering added an extra layer of authenticity to her character. It has all the makings of a modern noir with how Adobe is taken along from one scene to the next and has to piece everything at the last minute. This book for me was a how-to guide when it came to writing coincidences as a critical part of the narrative because Adobe is just as bewildered as the reader and we learn along with her.
Do not pass this book up.
