i really don't know what to say about this book? so many sections could have been written much more concisely and still would have had the same effect; and i can tell that there's something really good underneath here, but there's so many loose ends that i can't keep track of and i'm just. so. confused. i'd like to continue the trilogy because what's going on is incredibly interesting, and clearly the first book is more of a prelude than the whole story. i hope. it's very clever at points, but i feel like it tries too hard to come across as intellectual at other points? i wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but i wouldn't say it's bad either, not at all.
