The story/plot is good but I just couldn't get into the story and follow it well enough to give it an honest review.

I really liked this book - it had a good pace but it ended chapters nicely (so you weren't trying to rush through reading it). The main characters were amazingly well written and had a bit of depth to them and the world building was sensational which I suppose is to be expected of Roth.

I look forward to reading its sequel.
