I was on the fence about this book until about 2/3 of the way through it. I was super intriqued by the concept behind it, but the first 2/3 of the book had very slow pacing, and I feel a large chunk of the text could have been edited out without negatively effecting the story. Also, the copy I have was so badly copyedited (extra words in sentences, missing articles) that it was distracting.

However, once the story finally gets going, it's quite enjoyable. The last third of the book almost feels like it had a different editor. There's less fluff, fewer copyediting mistakes, and better pacing.

Overall, very interesting concept, and I'm intrigued enough by the cliffhangers to find out what happens in the next installment.
