This was an elaborately, convoluted, confusing slog. It was boring, too long, and repetitive. The contracts and laws... I give the author points for creativity, but this could have benefited from more editing and definitely shortening.  The narration was not good.  I finished the book only because I had gotten so far in that I became invested and wanted to know how it all played out.  There were some parts that were good, but overall, I did not truly enjoy this.
