Watch the amazing Locus juggle several books at once, and try not to drop any! Free admission.
The plot is still gripping, even with its various threads pulling in different directions.
My only dislike so far is the way the POVs change: first-person chapters (or sections) from the POV of the protagonist, interspersed with third-person sections/chapters from the perspective of other characters. I find the shifts distracting, but hopefully there will be a good reason down the road for this choice.
