I'm one of those people who firmly believe that a fantasy book needs a Hero (or a villain) who isn't morally ambiguous; similarly, the central conflict has to be compelling.
I found no reason to root for the main characters, Decimus and Tutor, nor was I entirely invested in their survival or attempt at solving a mysterious illness. As a matter of fact, the only person I cared for was an orphan named Weasel who was probably on-page 6 or 7 times and that to me is a problem.
