I adore the worldbuilding of Summerland; its strange technologies and mathematical/geometric architecture, the way the dead have built their own society... I just couldn't care less about the plot.
Let me be frank: I have never liked warstories and a coldwar spy mystery just does not keep me entertained. Because of this, the characters and eventual 'twist' with CAMLANN fell flat. It's a personal preference but I would've preferred to see the story set in a different time.
