Enjoyed reading this but it was incredibly slow paced and didn't really make me care about what was going on.  Parts of the world and the story were  intriguing, I especially liked the concept behind the world of theroc. Unfortunately it was very clear that the book was written to be part of a larger series. This wouldn't always be an issue but for such a long book to only feel like an introductory chapter was disappointing- it doesn't really hold up as its own piece.
Having said that I still enjoyed it and am now reading the second installment!
