This book is very complex, sad, and brutal. While I found it an interesting setting & world, & thought the characters were well-fleshed out, I never actually came to care about anyone, and I didn't feel like the story grabbed me the way I prefer. Ultimately, I won't be continuing on, because I didn't think it was good enough to outweigh the way the tragedy of this world makes me feel.
