This book is well written with a complex and vibrant world.
However, my problem with this book is its focus on telling rather than showing, particularly in regards to characters. They state the same plot lines repeatedly through long inner monologues to the point it gets dull and irritating. I wish characters would show there opinions/feelings sometimes through action or symbolism, rather than always through spelling it out.
