I adored this book.
The pacing was a little strange at first, with the big event seemingly coming out of nowhere, but the pacing was quite good otherwise.
I loved the subtle nods to well-known, and not so well-known, literary worlds that were present throughout the book. References that perhaps few will know, but are meaningful to those who do.
I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started this, but I can safely say that it exceeded whatever expectations I had, and I can't wait to read the others in this series.
