fantasyfunk's review against another edition
2.0
A very short review since this book has been out for a long time and I'm sure there are plenty of reviews on it. I thought the world was interesting enough to bump this up to 2 stars. There's kind of a weird multiple universe sort of thing with overlapping magic that I would be interested in exploring further, but all the characters fell super flat for me. I don't care about any of them and it's almost to the point where most of them actively annoy me. If I hadn't been borrowed this book to read, it would have been a DNF. The world/magic just wasn't explored enough to get over how much I wanted to smack all of the characters.

A good fantasy read, if not a little confusing at times and the ending seemed a bit rushed. Good characters, though, some of them didn't get enough scene time.
Overall, I liked it.

Kinda confusing/distracting with the Multiple POV. Haven't figure out why or if I should feel sorry for the fairies; I don't.

My fault, thought this would be science fiction but it is fantasy. The only character I liked was Mimic although he kept changing jobs from engineer to technician (I.e., inconsistent).

The ideas in this book are okay on their own, but the writing is clunky and some of the purplest prose I've read in a while. I won't be reading the sequels.
