This book had so much potential, but just could not live up to the interesting plot. While I get that worldbuilding needs to be done, I felt the book got too sidetracked in the first half with it. By the time we started getting into the meat of it into the final three-quarters, I just wanted it to be over.
The dialogue is OK, and I found the author uses many of the same turns of phrase for different characters, resulting in no one character sounding any different.
Strewn about are also some small grammatical errors. Things like words being repeated twice, words that are missing, and quotes that aren't closed off appropriately.
The plot itself was interesting and there were some pieces I did enjoy, but I just think this book needed some more TLC from either the author or a closer eye from the editor. It has so much potential, but it's just not there.
