I really enjoyed the first like 70% of the book. It was engaging and intriguing and I hungered for more information about the world. That being said, I think the ending of the book was very lackluster after such a build up. I understand it's the first in the series but I wanted more from the ending. I'm going to continue the next book because I NEED to see where this is all going. Overall, I'd recommend it because I really enjoyed it but the ending is a bit unsatisfying.
