The whole book seems as though it is simply introducing a cast of characters for the rest of the series. I feel plenty of other books manage more eloquent introductions. I didn't feel any connection with the vast majority of the characters and it felt rather two-dimensional at times. The plot was interesting, however, and I would probably read another in the series to see if it comes alive once all the characters are established.
