These Vicious Masks

Meh. Clever, stylish concept and no lack of action, but by 20% through, the two-dimensional characters eroded my willingness to put up with narrative weakness. Is the story missing sentences? The sentences that would have set up major character qualities or plot events? Characters will do things that haven't been set up in the plot (let's check out the inn, randomly–ah! we've discovered something to advance the plot! but, why di we go to the inn? because..a deus came out of the machina of the author's mind and nudged us there? Um...). Not impressed. A shame.
