It was a good, original tale. The problems in this world are numerous, yet nothing particularly wrong with the world-building. Thoroughly explained, but something didn't seem quite right. Perhaps it was the constant changing POVs (when it was Witt, the Lithos, I was very confused. We didn't really need to know anything about him), or maybe it was the characters (perhaps they could've been better). I don't know, but that's the only reason I gave it four-stars.
