The first half was okay but not worth near the hype this book recieved. With a barley valed anology for the british empire and a pretty bad caste system it just wasn't enjoyable. But, at about 65% through the book it get really good.
The introduction of mustang makes this book go from okay to really good.
I think I will take a break between now and reading the next one.
