Meh.

First of all, do not be like me and read this before Chameleon Moon. You will understand nothing. You will not know who these people are and nothing in their characterization here will make you care. Nothing about the world will be explained - just a few hints dropped that would be more than enough for someone that had read Chameleon Moon.

The plot, as it is, seems okay enough.

The writing style seems a little purposefully abrupt and choppy in dialogue. I say purposefully because none of the non-dialogue is that way, so it feels like it's a stylistic choice (that I personally do not much care for).

Honestly, if more of this is what I can look forward to from the novels...Yeah, I'm not sure this is a series for me.
