It has this unimaginable stability of tone, the place essentially the most amusing second can percolate right into a case that requires pressing reflection.

The primary half of Bethlehem Kudumba Unit is recent and brims with radiance, and my solely criticism is the marginally overworked second half, the place the central battle takes a backseat.”
