I did enjoy this but I don't think I'll read it again. I didn't really get very attached to any of the characters since there were so many with the exception of Daunt. I also think the book could have been condensed, but it did make sense with the pacing. The book was beautifully written, though, I just don't think I'd pick it up again or go out of my way to read more by the author
