So, this wasn't a bad book. It was enjoyable enough, fast paced, and with a pretty unique setting, but in a lot of ways reminded me of his previous trilogy (City of Stairs). Start slow, and as the story progresses reveal enough of the history of the world that ultimately the actual conflict isn't quite what you thought it was.
I'll most likely pick up the next one in the series when it's out.
