Jee-zus, the review hype of this one...
I'm not very impressed thus far; the world-building is fine, but the characters are dull and cliche, and the writing leaves a lot to be desired. It's just not particularly refined, and the word repetition alone is tedious and awkward.
At ~500 pages in this first of a trilogy, I'm going to quit this one pretty hard if the pacing and plot don't rapidly improve.
