I thought some chapters dragged a little bit, but the overall plot was engaging.  The ending felt a bit abrupt, but fitting.  This was not a "surprise ending" plot, but one that left a careful y curated breadcrumb trail to the ending.  There is room for character development, but this does provide a good baseline for the characters that will be series regulars.   Overall an enjoyable read.
