It felt like nothing was happening from pages 0 to around 650... then everything happened in the last 140 pages with like 5 ish pages leading you onto the next book.

Spice level is low... this book gets recommended with Quicksilver, but it's nowhere near as spicy, which isn't a bad thing as the story and world are interesting

Holy moly this book you guys. It's so good. SJM has an unparreled ability and talent for world building and character depth. There was a lot of info at the beginning that was hard to get through but once the story picked up, oh boy. It kept me on my toes. I was questioning everything I knew almost every step of the way. Highly recommend!
