It was a very interesting story until it gets to the middle. Then it just drags on for a little too long. 
There are times where this book is so slow it actually become a chore to get through, and at times where is a lot of info-dumping that really ruins the flow of the story. It began with a character focus, then just became a very boring ping-pong session between characters when all you want is to get to the end, I get why it was done, and I didn't hate it, but it did get frustrating at times. It was interesting to read, but not the best I've ever had.
