Series: Jane Hawk #5
It is hard to believe that this five-book to date series encompasses less than three weeks in the life of Jane Hawk. Yet by the time we reach the final chapter, it feels as if Jane has been in a battle for years, with each day encompassing decisions that would cripple an average person.
Vikram Rangnekar, who barely registered in previous books is front and center in “The Night Window”. With his brilliance and charming innocence, they take on the Techno Arcadians from the inside and in doing so, upends the group which has altered memories and turning people into slaves of evil.
There were a couple of new characters added and the return of favorites. All of which leads the reader on an endless ride in untraceable vehicles with brief respites so we can run to our dictionaries for a vocabulary lesson. There are cringe-worthy parts when it comes to the actions of some characters, no more so than the man handing out random acts of cruelty, but then again, it wouldn’t be a Knootz novel if there wasn’t evil among evil.
Though the author gives insight from previous novels, this is a series that must be read from the first book. The people, the places, and the reasoning all flow in a sick and sometimes disjointed way, but it is all there, laid out in occasional gory detail but that is helped along with a bit of humor on the side.
