DNF! I tried! A lot of people have mentioned how great the world building was in this book -- for me it was a little TOO great. I just wanted action and nothing. was. happening. Every time I read a new character, I thought, "Not another one!!" I admit, it could be me. Perhaps I was just in a high-action book mood? It may have been too late and I couldn't focus. Whatever the reason, I probably wouldn't recommend this book to someone who just wanted a strong heroine and some serious action. But I'd maybe recommend it to someone who wanted a book with more slow-building (?) action (I hope it happens), then maybe this is for you.
