It took me a while to get into this book. I enjoyed the characters the whole way though but the plot felt slow until the end when more things were figured out. By the end of the book I was enjoying the set up of what was happening and what needed to be done. I did end up feeling though a lot more could have been explained about who the characters were and what the different groups were all about. It made it a little difficult to really get into the story when I didn't understand who they were fighting in places. Maybe I missed an explanation but I had no clue about one group in the book. Without spoiling too much

there's also a plot point that only some members of the Argus make it off - it's not clear how many and also only a few are ever really involved in the story.

In the end though I did enjoy the book and will be reading the sequel to find out what happens next.
