Just finished "The Rainy Season".  

I actually wish it were longer, just to cover all the various story lines more thoroughly.  

I wanted to identify with each character more, and I felt like it was written with a time or word limit, and those storylines were cut off or edited.  It's probably the publisher's fault.

Like Alex.  He was set up to be a major antagonist, and he was just shot dead.  Colin we didn't hear from at all after Alex was shot, but when he re-appears as the priest it's almost anti-climactic.

With all that said, I did like the overall story, I thought it was really original.
