Another case of "well written but not for me."

It's dystopian, which is not a genre I enjoy, and it also features the kind of characters who you always feel are about to make a terrible decision that will plunge everything into tragedy, which I also don't enjoy. That's about taste, not quality; the author writes well, the mechanics are unusually good, and the premise (the Roman Empire somehow survived and, as far as I can make out, colonized North America; I think that's where we are), but it just isn't the right book for this reader.
