I think this was my third attempt at this book and it still took me more than 3 months to finish it. I can appreciate what the author was doing, hence the third try at it, but it just didn't click with me. I felt like the plot was meandering a lot and the characters didn't stand that well on their own to be enough to carry the story for me. 
I would still recommend it to people that enjoy reading high-concept and theme-oriented stories. I just wish it worked for me.

CAWPILE score: 7.14/10.
The first part of the book was very strong, but the second had a lot of info dumping witch was taking me out of the story so I would put down the book for days. If I was rating it on goodreads I would round it up to 4, but since here I can use quarter stars I put it at 3.75 because it wasn't quite a 4 starts for me.
But I did love the two main characters and I'll continue to read their story.

No real plot, just as the title said - introduction to the characters.
But, I got a say it was a page turner and very addictive. Probably will try couple more books to see if I find a connection to the characters because this is the type of a series where the plot spans through all the books.

When ever I put the book down i didn't feal the need to pick it back up. The plot basically had no development at 50% mark and the characters were acting so differently then I remembered them behaving. And all of that combined made this book a tough  read for me, so I decided to stop reading and DNF.
