I was very into the concept of this book, it's a great idea with a cool setting and characters in theory. Unfortunately the writing didn't work for me. The author used "taunt" instead of "taut" at least twice.  I found the characters kind of unlikable and inconsistent. Somehow despite feeling inconsistent, the dialogue was so repetitive that a few times I thought maybe I had actually gone back to a previous page by accident. I didn't find the recurring humorous bits funny. I figured out the mystery immediately. I didn't have a miserable reading experience, but I can't recommend the book either.
