Really interesting concept, and quite well executed. The tension on the book is at some points almost unbearable; but I think it is mostly because of the expectations of the genre made me wait for things to go wrong at every turn. Great characters, and the narrative-within-the narrative was really clever. The ending was intriguing and left me thinking about all the implications of this universe
