So I was worried about how long this book is. At 800 pages it’s longer than most and certainly longer than what I normally read. But I found the pacing to be very strong and rarely if ever did I feel like I had slog through any section. Wendig brings lots of thoughts, ideas and characters to the story and weaves them well to keep the intrigue up. Sure there were times I felt like I wanted to skip ahead, but as soon as I started in on a chapter, I was consistently pulled in.
I generally enjoyed the main characters. Early on, as we jumped to new people I felt like it might be too much, I was already invested in a number of people and all of a sudden here was someone new andI didn't know where they fit it. But, given a little latitude, Wendig was able to being the new character to the story in meaningful ways.

This book was too long. Good, but I found myself skimming over long passages of characters just... Reflecting. On their lives, their feelings. Is this typical of Wendig? I don't know. I kept checking to see how much book was left, wondering when or if my questions would be answered. In the end, I was sort of disappointed. It all wraps up nicely, but that ending maybe went a little too far. Well, I can't recommend it, but please use your own discretion and be prepared for a long haul.
