The first and last third of the book is excellent. It has a terrific and satisfying ending. The references to other stories is fun and works well as a fun nod to other work's lore.

Great buildup and character insight in the first half of the book but it was oddly simplified and rushed for the second half. Lost touch with the characters and their decision-making process.
