I liked the depiction of Canard with its futuristic technology and politics. I also liked the running for survival in a post-apocalyptic environment and everyone's secrets. Unfortunately, I felt that in the last 25 pages or so was a bit too rushed, almost like they were clearing levels in a video game.
