Despite it being a bit action-packed and a bit edification-packed at the end, I really enjoyed this book. I really loved the techology fantasy that this was based on. I liked that the characters changed their minds, I liked that they had different backgrounds. The ending is quite open, but to me it feels less like a cliffhanger of a first book, but more as a logical consequence of the events of the book. However it does leave me feeling a bit worried for the following books not ruining it. After this book the author has to speculate about how the world changes once a lot and lot of people get their hands on telepathy technology. And that's different than speculating about how just a few people react to it.
