This book wasn’t fantastic and it wasn’t terrible. The world is really interesting but the authors got really bogged down in the technical description sometimes, and most of the characters were very flat. The only character with any depth was Miller, and he is so much the main character of the story that it seems wild in retrospect that only half of the book was from his perspective. I found sometimes that I felt left out of what was happening- an action would happen so suddenly that I would go back a few paragraphs, convinced I had missed something, but in fact there just hadn’t been any lead-in  that made sense. I’ll probably continue on with the series but not right away.

This series is so good. Honestly the first book isn't even the best one, but it's still so good.
