I'm not very into fantasy usually, but I liked this a lot more than I expected to. The plot builds slowly but the world building was interesting enough to keep me going. There is a lot of random death though - almost like NPCs, minor characters or extras who just casually get killed? It was a little weird.

Most of the mystery is pretty easy to figure out from the reader's point of view, but it's nice watching the characters, with less information, trying to figure it out. A good illustration of how science works.
