It's a very interesting book with a very interesting take. I really liked the way they pictured the world, how they designed the overlords, and particularly the character of Jan and his chapters. I didn't particularly liked chapter 17-19, with what happens with Jean and her children. It seemed really promising at first (I absolutely loved the dreams concept), but I disliked where the book took it. This was partially fix by the ending of the book and Jan's chapters, but I'm still not a fan of it.
Overall, a great, interesting and very different book. I loved the characters and their interactions a lot.
