I wasn't a big fan of this one. It was rather slow, with the plot dragging a bit. It's part of a series but supposedly a stand-alone book, though I don't know if that worked in its favor. It did give enough(ish) information on various characters’ backstories (the ones who seemed to be characters from the series, not just this particular book) that I didn't really feel I was missing out by not reading the previous books. However, I do wonder if I would have enjoyed the book more as a series reader instead of just reading this book since I didn't really have any reason to care for any of the characters as I was reading, whether they were from previous books or not.
