Good story, but over long

I'll start by admitting that I don't read a lot of books. Maybe that reflects in my review of this.
I found myself completely engrossed for about the first half of this book. After that it all just started dragging for me. Tim is undoubtedly a very talented writer, but I found this book getting too bogged down in overly descriptive text. There's only so many times you want to read about what a fog looks like. I feel this book could have trimmed a good 100 pages and would have been much more dramatic for it.
That said, I did very much enjoy the story and the character interaction.
