The plot concept was interesting but the world is so complex and I am not super big on glossaries in books (they take me out of the narrative a bit) and info dumping through constant flashbacks. It also just felt needlessly long at points and it took me a bit to get back into it after setting it down between reading sessions.

That being said, I did enjoy and found this story interesting and worth exploring. Now that I understand a bit more about the world I think I may continue in the series at some point.
