The premise was interesting enough, the narration was great, though too saturated with curses, some parts were hilarious (the 'silverclad' scene had me rolling. Chastain's disbelief was too real). 
I struggled a bit to finish it because I thought it was dragging for too long, but at the same time, I didn't want to let the characters go. I do wish the pacing were a tad faster, but it's not bad.
