I'm not mad I read this, and think I would eventually read the other half of the duology, but am not in a rush to do so. I liked the world and the parts of the plot related to politics and persecution. Still, could have used more spicy scenes (a chronic lament for me), and I'm not sure what it is, but was just missing the compelling plot elements that propel me into going to the sequel right away in oher series.
