I swallowed  this book in few days, it is fast paced and engaging. There is plenty action and quite a few twists. The way it was written and how it built up to the finish made me hopeful the ending will answer at least some questions that appeared in along the plot.
I was very disappointed to have none of them answered (where did main character's or its adversaries' skills come from,  what are the objectives of the organisations involved, how some events were triggered) - it is an action book written using language that suggests there is some bigger  scheme hidden behind the action, but I lost faith it is there after reading the first book of the saga, 
The book captures interest very well, and it might answer some of the questions in sequels, but I don't think I will read them.
