In general, I liked this book. However, I found it hard to follow at times due to the inconsistent use of quotation marks in dialogue and vague pronouns. I regularly found myself re-reading passages trying to determine what was the actual dialogue and who was saying it. I also found it difficult to keep track of the characters because there are so many of them and they often have the same names - I guess we can blame history for that one though.

I would be interested in reading the sequel, but I would not go out of my way to do so. If the book finds its way into my possession, I will most likely read it.
