A solid 3/5! This is quite a dry, medium fantasy read. There's no dragons or such, but there are some pretty incredible deities, and some pretty intriguing...evolutionary developments.
The writing structure is unique, and the scenes and characters well written.
All in all, solid, and worth the read.

2.7/5, rounded down.
One of the reviews stated that it gets more and more unsettling as you turn the page, and that it's a slow burn. Both of these are true.
The pace is excellent. It is intriguing, thrilling, and devious.
But, the characters are unrefined, and the plot has been eaten by a few moths. There's some really, truly dumb decisions made by the characters, and some truly absurd omissions.
If you like thriller/suspense, you will enjoy this read. It's not the best read, but it was still a ride, and I enjoyed it.

Brilliant. Utterly brilliant.
The story is compelling, engrossing, and damned amusing. There is a beautiful balance of mind games, calls to action, and character development.
The half-star taken away was due to the clipped nature of some of the plot points, which could have done with a little more thought and expansion.
But overall, this was a sensational read.
