Meh, I disagree. Chapters 1-4 were great with 4 being the best of them all. Chapter 5 was a let down and the worst out of the 5. BCG tried to do too much in this chapter with Mama Esme, the church, the shop girl, redhead witch, the boat, the dolphins, and what really hurt this chapter, the unwieldy use of cell phones to tell the story of what happened with the two couples. Chapters 1-4 have a great plot flow and world building but 5 just sticks out as unwieldy.
I still think that BCG is the best developer out there so lets hope he gets back on track with chapter 6.
