3.5

I'm not really sure how I feel about this book beyond "not bad." The characters were interesting, but they all kind of blurred together; I'm not sure if I should lay that at the feet of the author's writing or the audiobook's narration, although I am lenaing toward the latter. The story took a while to get going, though I did like it once I got into it around a third into the book. Occassionally there were moments that stood out that really bugged me, and I thought the one major romance was pretty meh, but the rest of it was fine. Good enough that I want to continue the series, but nothing to write home about.

Plot: 8/10
Setting: 9/10
General Appeal: 6/10
Writing Style: 4/10
Originality: 5/10
