To be honest, I struggled a lot with this book. Perhaps it was because it was higher concept than I anticipated or maybe it was the unique writing style. But in the end I liked it quite a bit more than I anticipated. The parts that were really interesting to me were very compelling, and man, what an ending this story had! It was written so well that despite not fully grasping everything that was going on I found myself quite moved. I think the main thing I disliked about this book was the structure of switching POVs every chapter. That made me have a hard time following storylines and characters and I had to refer to the Wikipedia summary to make sure I understood the events more linearly. I'm definitely interested in continuing the trilogy but with how much I struggled with this it's probably not going to be a priority.
