This one was really tough for me to get into, and I think it had a lot to do with the book being translated. There's always references or phrases that don't quite make sense after translation, and often I feel like the grammar is much more formal. 

Overall the plot was interesting, but it seemed like there were a ton of things that came up once and were never addressed, or characters that just seemed to fade away. Apparently this is book one of a much longer series, so I would hope those things would be addressed in future books?

Just a hard one for me to get into and get interested in, but not a bad book!
