So many tropes were checked off in this book.
The world building is interesting and mysterious enough that I will probably eventually continue, if only because it's an easy read with low personal stakes since I didn't really care about the characters. The banter was amusing and the plotting was fun. There were some pacing issues, but it was kind of necessary plot-wise so I'm not bothered by it.
