I really enjoyed this story. I have to say that my opinion of the book is likely influenced by the TV show (which I watched first). I really love the worldbuilding, and the premise is, as much as it has been told many times, very compelling, and with much room for reflection, which I think the book excels at.
In comparison to the show, I think the characters are not quite as fleshed out as they should be, especially when it comes to the characters in Mechanical, and Billings. I constantly realized the show did a fantastic job in elevating the stakes and getting more "juice" out of the plot points. I found that Bernard was too flat in the book, and the romance plot lines felt quite unnecesary. But overall, the story is so good, that I can live with it.
Looking forward to reading the rest!!
