I was pretty excited to read this because of McDonald's fanbase with his Blackwing series. I expected great prose with an imaginative world and I definitely got the unique world building. I've never read a book like this at all and for that I'll be reading the next book in the series, but the prose was a bit choppy. He really loves to make sentences short with periods instead of commas. The story was also extremely slow which is not what I expected with a book so short but it turned out to be okay. The ending fight scene was also pretty mediocre. The main character wasn't that great but she was decent. Some of the side characters were all right. The bad guys weren't all that hateable (probably because the was so short). I heard that this book was written before he wrote Blackwing so maybe that's why this isn't to par with my expectations. All of that being said I didn't love it but I liked it and will still continue with the series and definitely will read his previous series soon.
