I laughed. I cried. I want more.
Fabulous! The plot is clear and measured, well-paced, and moving. The cultural aspects of this world are defined and addressed well by the author. The characters were well-formed - even those who were present for only a scene or two.
In all honesty, I pieced together some of the mystery early on. When something is mentioned more than once and its importance is stressed, it's going to be important later on. But this didn't lessen my enjoyment or annoy me at all. In fact, it spurred me on to get the full mystery solved, not just the pieces I put down... which did include a few bad predictions on my part.
The audiobook was fantastic! Really enjoyed switching between the audio while driving and the physical copy.
Now, I can't wait for the announced sequel. And did i not hear about this becoming a movie or TV series? If not. Can we get that? In the meanwhile, read this book. It's perfectly crafted entertainment.
