Ok review time.

I really loved the atmosphere, the setting, and the premise. I thought the book was really well done and well paced, excluding a moderately large section from about 40%-60% where things really dragged for me and I put the book down for months; but that might just be a me problem.

Overall, very well written with a lot of interesting ideas that keep you going throughout.

*SLIGHT SPOILERS*

I'm really conflicted about how I feel towards the ending. I do appreciate that the ending went so far as to show us what happens after the big climax; it's a pet-peeve of mine when the viewer is shown very little aftermath.
