Had very high expectations for this one - especially since it's a Canadian author - but I think the hype train got to me. Because it didn't live up. It definitely feels and reads like a debut book; a little rough at the edges. (Which lends to the grit of this world in a beneficial way!) But my main problem with it is actually the writing style. It comes across very C-drama meets overdramatic fighting anime.
