Uggghhhh! I read this almost a month ago so sadly my thoughts on it aren't too fresh, but overall I really enjoyed this one. This book is very fast-paced. I read the first 200 pages in like 4 hours. I couldn't put it down. It was so fun to go along through; you can tell the author really put some thoughts into the mechanisms and rules of the world (however, I do wish the actual word building itself was expanded upon a bit more aside from the scythe and scythe politics). I really enjoyed the little journals entries in the beginning of each chapter; they really do become significant later on in the book. This book really threw me in for a loop. I was thoroughly entertained the whole way through and I was really curious on where the autour was going to take things after the first quarter. Again, really enjoyed this one! It was exactly what I needed at the time. Will most definitely be reading book 2!
