Book was a little hard to get into at first as I generally dislike second-person narration, but glad I stuck it out as the narration switches frequently and I eventually got the hang of the authors style.
At no point in this story did it go the way I was expecting it to (/pos). Jimenez is able to balance a bunch of different characters and plot threads simultaneously while incorporating them in unexpected and interesting ways.
