So, I actually logged in to mark this as did-not-finish, because I just wasn't getting into it. Felt directionless. But the Goodreads description actually told me what (and who) the book is about... and now I want to keep reading. But initial impression is that we've spent 1/3 of the book just setting the scene... and I'm getting kinda impatient.
