I enjoyed reading this book. The characters were interesting, if a little male dominated. The pacing of the story was so that I read it without too many breaks. The world is exciting.

There is just one thing I have to critique: the title kind of spoils the whole plot. But then this is something that happens and it was surely done on purpose. But all in all there were not many surprising turns in the book for me. Curiously, I usually dislike surprises but here I missed them a little. Not enough however to detract from my overall enjoyment of the story. I am looking forward to reading the sequel.

I really liked both Miller and Holden, the two protagonists. They are well-rounded characters with deep flaws that drive the plot in good ways.

I always waited for Fred to turn on everyone but he didn't and his moment of redemption was if not quite great then at the very least good.
