Two point five stars.

Okay, I have definitely read better Seanan books.

The characters were interesting, except none of them got anywhere near enough characterization. The world-building was interesting, but way too shallow. The plot could have been interesting except there were so few character introduced and the pacing was so off that I pegged how the book would end halfway through.

This feels like half of a book, and I haven't read something from Seanan that was this poorly plotted since the first Toby Daye book (and that had much better characterization)– and at this point I'm grading on a curve. I expected more.
