Overall good book, there was just long periods of (what felt like) nothing, in-between short periods of something. Several parts felt like they were there to just show how awesome one character or another was.
However, the world building was deeply thought-out, and Aveyard never got lore dumpy. I just wish the pace of the book had been faster, 560 pages felt needless for book 1.
