The use of second person in the book is disorienting for a while, though eventually it makes sense. A lot of the first part of the book felt a bit plodding. But by the time I got to Act Four, things were pretty engaging. I'm glad I read the book. But now I kind of need to start the next book right away. Most of the stuff that came up in this book was resolved by the end, but it also left a lot of threads dangling just so the next book could do something with them.
