A great premise and world held back by repetitive scenes and a mystery that was somehow both easily predictable and nonsensically convoluted. A very messy and unfulfilling read that's conclusion sacrifices closure for shameless sequel bait. The two leads were compelling, but not enough to save it for me. Plus the audio direction on the audiobook was sometimes baffling: strange emphases on the wrong words and never enough pauses between scene breaks, making transitions confusing to follow.
Hopefully the next novel is better.
