I enjoyed this read, but likely wouldn't re-read it. It kept me entertained and thinking throughout. The ending surprised me, and I didn't like it initially, but after some thought, I think it came to a good conclusion. There were some loose ends that I felt could've been cleaned up, but this is a universe, and those may be addressed in another book.  

Some advice if you are reading this for a bookclub; place each break before an Exeunt, which in this book is the chapter before a new part. At each Exeunt/part, most things have been resolved for the moment, which doesn't leave much to talk about. Stopping at a chapter break towards the end of a part has better cliffhangers and there will be more to talk about.
