I really wanted to like this book, so I'm giving it the better of the two considered ratings. At first, I started to think that this kind of book might just not be for me; it looked like the author tried to use pretty much every cliche and dead horse trope he could find. But then, maybe after the first third, it got better. It still wasn't something I'd actively look for; but a lot more enjoyable than the few other books in this genre I've read. (I've listened to an audio version; in the first third, when I got bored, I wondered whether to drop it; I decided to listen to it at 1.6 speed instead. That might've helped. :)
