The world building is first-class. Great ideas, good background, lots of nice details, including a language and terms that are very evocative. Unfortunately the story is a little bit of a mess, with a bunch of characters doing weird things, too many twists and turns to really care or stay concentrated on really staying with the plot. Towards the end I was thinking, ok, that's enough, let's wrap this up.
