The structure and plot progression in this one go some fascinating places, and yet it builds fairly smoothly to a complete, effective whole. The worldbuilding and most of the character work are painful and elaborate (though Cara's relationship with Dell is a tad bit underwritten) and the plot is well executed as much as interesting, which is impressive with all the layers of conspiracy.
