tani's review
In light of my newfound commitment to DNF books that I'm not really enjoying, this one must also go. I wouldn't say it's bad. I read more than half of it, and probably would have given it two stars, so I didn't hate it. It has some interesting political predictions, and the world-building in general was intriguing at first. But the characters are all pretty generic, and I find I'm just not interested. Maybe it would work better if I'd read the first book in the series, rather than trying to jump in with this one? Unfortunately, I wasn't interested enough in the series to go hunting for the first at this late date, so here we are. I left this on my currently reading shelf for almost half of the year. It's time for it to go.
