Cion 5 and 6

I think these two chapters have definitely been my favorite chapters so far. I am also becoming more intrigued by the mini-story of Abednego and Niall Quigley more than the story's real-time, which I was more interested in towards the beginning of the book. I feel the strongest part of both chapters was when Abednego confronts William Tobias, because at that point I was able to sympathize with both characters. Tobias may have changed dramatically, and maybe he should have been given a chance to prove he really was a different person, but I felt for Abednego because that didn't change the fact that Nicodemus was dead, and it was largely Tobias's fault. I'm actually eager now to read on and discover what happens throughout the rest of the story.
