Pros: oppressive atmosphere, motivating scenario, plot-focused and doesn't deviate too much from the plot.
Cons: In a nutshell: disappointingly stilted writing combined with a plot that seems to fall out of thin air but doesn't stick the landing and leaves far more unsatisfying questions than it does stoke intrigue. The passage of time and the time it takes for certain things to happen doesn’t make much sense, and—in a scenario that very much is dependent on time—that took me out of the events of the plot. I don't think I'll be reading the second book.
