2.0

Knowing there's a sequel makes me like the book a little more because it gives me hope that the characters and mythology got fleshed out more. 

As it is, the whole book feels like a big nothing. The characters aren't interesting. The ending is obvious in chapter 3. Really nothing to recommend here.
