This is a five star read from a plot and world-building viewpoint; characterization is strong, pacing perfect. I enjoyed it immensely and look forward to the next book in the series.
But the “Irish” accent assigned to Agent Fiona, which consisted of substituting “ye” for “you” while ignoring contractions like “you'll” struck me as straight-up lazy and was really grating to my internal ear. I'm holding an unreasonable grudge about this because she has my name.
Also, in multiple conversations characters become talking heads as there is no body language or action to ground the speaker; it was most noticeable during a scene where one character was literally a disembodied head.
Overall though, fairly awesome and highly recommended.
