I found it difficult to keep track of the characters, particularly in the first half of the book. Lot of people fufilling lots of different roles and the list of characters in the back of the book doesn't help because they all only have a few words to describe them and they don't describe them very well.
I really started to enjoy the narrative in the second half. About half way through the book I reached a point where I didn't want to put it down. But even then there were sections that really lulled. The pacing was inconsistent and it was obvious while I was waiting for those action moments.
I wasn't a huge fan of the writing style. I found that it was taken way too seriously when nothing was happening in the narrative.
It was an entertaining read towards the end, but largely depressing.
