I liked the story, but it definitely could have been executed better. The author is really bad about telling instead of showing, and his descriptions of things were rather boring. He also repeated lines word for word A LOT, which was clearly a stylistic choice, but I felt that he overdid it. I think the world he built is fascinating, though, and it's structured in a way that would lend well to a film or miniseries adaptation.
