I found the early chapters hard to follow and therefore not a great entry back into the story. Once things clarified, I was fully on board. I enjoyed watching Luke's thinking improve throughout the book but I was a little blindsided by the revelation of the Sigils' inadvertent interference with the hosts.
The scope of the world was dramatically expanded, leaving future books wide-open for creative adventures. At the same time, the local politics seems unrealistically simple. Bad guys abound, and they can act openly with few repercussions. The system of sigil slavery is left mostly undefined, so I don't know how upset I should be feeling about it.
And for a last word... I can't remember why Luke is opposed to ranged combat. Was that explained in book one? It seems like a strange obsession, unless it's a show of loyalty to Cookie perhaps?
