There's a lot going on in the story and the many characters, each with their own allegiances and plots, at times interact and other times oppose each other. The world in which these characters move is rich in culture and detail, and the magic that is present is subtle. The myriad intrigues that the many different factions supported held my interest and kept me reading to see how they would intertwine and succeed or fail.
Unfortunately, the numerous characters were hard to keep straight - who supported and who opposed whom. The narrative introduced them quickly, often with little to distinguish them, and many disappeared from the story just as quickly. The ending came abruptly and did not give a sense of closure, no satisfying conclusion to even part of the story. That leaves the story with not even the slightest feeling of anything having been resolved, even if only temporarily.
Many instances of odd phrasing, incorrect words and typos, and random tense changes made the reading difficult, usually requiring re-reading sections to try to discern the meaning, which often remained just out of reach. There are instances of multiple voices smashed together into a single paragraph, and sudden time jumps from one paragraph to the next. These issues interfered with the flow of the story and sadly worked to obscure subtleties and nuances. It became a struggle to follow what was going on.
