3.0

The beginning-middle felt slow and a bit exposition-heavy, but things pick up towards the end. I definitely didn't expect this book to go in the direction it did when I started reading.

The convention of foreshadowing/explaining things through in-fixtion stories was really cool.

I didn't understand the thing with the automaton at all. Either I'm missing something or that whole thing felt really out of place.

I hear there are more books set in this universe, and I plan to give those a go as well.
