Pros:
The setting was different. Many fantasies are medieval or have a Middle Earth-type setting, but not this book. I wasnt able to grasp all the plot twists. The world and story were sufficiently well written that, once the story picked up, it was a decent escapist/emersive experience. There were strong/interesting female characters.
Cons:
Took 175-200 pages for the book to really interest me; I nearly abandoned it. Not many female characters, and the strongest/most interesting one gets killed off. Its use of typical, real-life curse words threw me off, weakening the escapist appeal.
