I found the extremely long introduction to be very boring and unnecessary, the actual plot, as teaserd by the author, on the other hand is too quick. The world building wasn't convincing either and half of the time I questioned the entire point of the book. I admit, I didn't read it voluntarily, so my judgment might be biased. To me it just felt like the plot wasn't really going anywhere for ¾ of the book and the author put the actual story in the last ¼.
