The beginning was a little on the slow side but it picked up and quickly became engaging and I didn't want to put it down.

I think the main deterrent I have might be with the style of translation.  I am used to translated works using footnotes for quick reference so having one chunk at the end describing all the nuance that is otherwise lost in translation interrupts the flow.  I chose to discern by context and then read through the glossary and such after so I think it will improve the experience for reading the next book in the series.  I admit that this is a personal preference.
