The book was an enjoyable affair, something that was self contained and didn't feel as though it was setting up a universe (although it would be interesting to see how some of the concepts in the final chapters would come to life in a sequel). Warming up to the main character, Mal, takes some time in the beginning as the "oh-geez" off-putting lead, female character who doesn't want much to do with anything but see's inspiration in what's around her and the injustice in the world.
There were a few twists I wanted to see happen, and some more exploration on minor characters, but this was from a single point of view so it wouldn't have lent itself to anything beyond what Mal sees and interprets.
I would recommend for anyone familiar with game speak, conspiracy theories and a general dislike for overreaching corporations. But as a story, it has enough to keep you enticed and entertained through its brisk read.
