Great world-building, decent characters, but ultimately wasn't for me. I know urban fantasy isn't typically my thing, but I thought maybe the mafia/rival families thing would hold my interest. It didn't. I'll file it away with revenge plots - usually uninteresting to me. 

I'm also kind of surprised at some of the hints of sexual violence that were ignored (in the text and in reviews).

Hilo sneaking into Wen's room and waking her in a threatening way, even to prove a point, was gross. I know the world was kind of gritty, but that was so off-putting to me. And then the Weather Man exploiting a young girl? That was not only barely acknowledged other than in how it impacted Shae, but Shae also ended the friendship with the girl because of it?? Maybe these two things are dealt with later, sure, but my impression from that was not great.
