While I definitely enjoyed the story and look forward to reading the rest of the series, I did have some issues. First, I previously mentioned the overly formal writing. It seemed a bit overdone, but it also seemed to fit the style of story. More importantly, though, were the editing issues. I came across several misused words, instances of confusion (how old is Novas, for example, at times he seems maybe ten, but at others maybe his early twenties... a good editor would have caught this), and just regular old misspelled or missing words.

I definitely think the book would benefit from a strong editor, but this won't prevent me from continuing the story. I'll probably be getting the rest of the series next week or so. After all, a great story can't be held down by iffy editing.
