I'm not really sure waht to say about this book. It wasn't bad, really, but it wasn't very good, either. I think some of the ideas and people were interesting enough that it could've been better - even though there were some times where I was rolling my eyes because the conveniences and stupidity at times sort of strained credulity.
One of the things I liked most about the book was
This book was very much set-up. Generally I don't like it when series take a whole first book to set up the general story - but, because I think the story and characters do have potential, I'll probably give this one another shot and read book two, and see how it goes. I'm not in a great hurry to get around to it, though.

the budding complexity of the nature of the monsters. In the beginning, it's a very basic "monsters = evil" set-up, but as the story and characters progress, we find that not all of them are, but since most people think they are, and since it's a huge deal to be seen as a "monster sympathized", this puts some strain on our protagonist. It could certainly develop into an interesting sort of morality tale.This book was very much set-up.
