An interesting one that departs from Little’s normal writing in a few ways. Usually we see the events of a book from a person low in the hierarchy and their fight against whatever event is happening. Along with a few short sections of viewpoints from others generally right before they die.
The ignored focused on the lower people but never on the company exploiting them.
The Store we never see the event from the city council’s view or the proprietor.
But in this book one of the viewpoints is from the CEO of the company as he watches his control and power slip away.
Another difference, spoiler, is the resolution. The evil entity doesn’t die or get defeated. He doesn’t win either he just gives up.
