I liked it overall. She definitely creates a fascinating world that feels fully dimensional and believable to me, and the writing is good. Her characters are also dimensional and intriguing and you pull for them, you feel for them, you understand them. I'm just not sure what to make of the ending for reasons I won't go into because that would spoil things. I think it's worth the ride, but I might try rereading the end tonight or over the weekend when I'm less tired. I believe sartorias had something to say about it earlier in the week.
