Scalpel-wielding sociopathic children? Sure, why not!
Took me 16 days to read roughly 60% of Pandora's Star (massive space opera) before I have up. 60% equals about 210k words. Sara's book is about 158k words and I finished that in 4 days. Tells me a little bit about what kind of books I like and how awesome this one was.

Lots of action, a fair bit of grit and an allround exciting story. Need more Sara King books now.
