Though the premise for this book was clever, the execution just killed me. The narrative is very heavy handed and the result was a plot that lacked any intrigue. I was able to predict the entire plot (including anything considered a twist/turn) by about 15% into my read. Honestly, I should have DNF'd, but I was really hoping that my guesses were wrong and there was something that would blow me out of the water. No such luck.
The writing itself is decent and I did like Hart's first novel, Weyward, so the fact that I struggled so much with liking this one was incredibly disappointing.
