Slowly but surely. The premise seems interesting, if a bit simplistic at first (Big Bad Empire vs The Resistance). However, I just can't feel the characters. I feel like I know nothing about the personalities of Laia or Elias. It's literally like watching puppets - they're doing what they're supposed to but there's no soul behind it, no personality to shape their decisions. I'll keep reading warily at this point.
