Naleen's Shadow, chapter 4.
The fourth chapter establishes the protagonistʼs team of jailbreakers, and strengthens the hand of the plotʼs back-seat driver. There are some overworked clichés: “His silence was loudest,” and, “To chaos… to the fall of empires…” given as a speech, for examples.

“Undetected in the digital shadows behind the systemʼs firewalls, Westfield watched,” is a strange sentence, given the overlord is observing a physical meeting, but imbues the universe in which the story is unfolding with a mystical quality, as if it were infused by a strange technology of the future; it certainly plays hard with the emerging theme of the work: shadows. It will be interesting to see if this plays into the storyline.
