A little slow to start but I think it manages to build up to a story that's worth investing yourself in. It was a little hard to figure out what kind of dystopia this world was meant to be. Is the land ravaged? Are landscapes crumbled? We know there is a clear society due to military presences and class systems, but what do these societies really look like? Not too futuristic like Blade Runner since I don't think they're technology is that advanced, but it's not like the Stone Age or anything. Just made it really hard to make a concrete picture when imagining the setting.
Other than that, it was enjoyable. I think I was starting to get bored of Talin's inner monologue until Red showed up, then the story really gets moving. Plenty of action and intrigue to keep you going once the story finally kicks it into gear.
Will probably get to the second book eventually just to see what comes of everything.
