I had trouble getting into this one at first - I read the first 25 pages weeks ago and then let it sit on my floor, unenthused about spending an entire book with either of the first two viewpoint characters. I eventually ran out of library renewals, though, so I gave it another try, pushed myself through the next 40 pages, and then devoured the remaining 500 as fast as I could find time to read. It really, really picked up for me once we met more of the characters, found out more about what was going on, and saw some of the bigger-picture conflicts that will presumably drive the rest of the series (I am very eagerly awaiting book two in September). Recommended, and I hope we see it as a Yuletide fandom, I want fic.
