" I just can't pinpoint why I have such a hard time enjoying Daniel Abraham's writing, but both this book and the first novel of his quartet I struggled really hard to finish. The plot's interesting, the characters are developed, the world's solidly built, but I just don't care about what happens to any of it. I know that's probably not a helpful review, but in case anyone else is having a similar experience, it's not just you. "
