Was slow and hard to get into, but picked up speed and intrigue around the halfway mark. By the end I couldn't get enough and this is a series opener I'll actually read the sequel to!

Don't read spoilers (I didn't), this 3 POV book has some great devices that make you want to read again right away.

I would have benefitted from knowing there's a glossary at the back of the book... Oops.
