Still, there were some great moments and Chuck is definitely a great writer. If you go into this one, just drop any expectations you have.

What I didn’t like was the characterization. The characters felt flat and voices didn’t sound distinct. Everyone seemed to have the same personality - just slightly tweaked by their respective backgrounds.
This was also why I felt the narrative lagged. I just wasn’t really interested in the frequent internal monologues from the protagonists. These monologues also took most of the tension out of the story as almost all of the characters’ motivations were spelled out.
All in all an interesting concept but ultimately an unrewarding read for me.
