I had a tough time getting into the first half of this book for some reason. The world-building was fantastic, and I really like the concept. However, it felt a bit more like a horror adventure for a while, which didn't work as well for me.
About halfway in, though, things really started to pop off. Every chapter started to be more suspenseful than the previous. By the last 20%, it had completely transformed into a page turner for me.
Overall, it was definitely worth the read, even if it felt like a bit of a slow start for me.
