It's a beautiful story, you can tell the writters come from the film world because some scenes are very cinematic and the descriptions of the characters, especially how the Makers come to life, are soo detailed you can practically feel yourself get wrapped up in this world. Same thing goes for the connection the whole premise has to music, the scenes where the characters conect with it feel so intimate and they manage to get that feeling trough the page. 
However the story as a whole gets a little repetative at times, the characters get saved from near death experiences a few too many times in my opinion, the switch between support and being ostracized is usually too quick (and too frecuent for my taste). 
Still, a beautiful book to get wrapped in.
