There are several things to like about the book - interesting secondary characters, an intriguing fantasy world - but overall I felt a little let down. Raine Benares, the MC, began to irritate me about two chapters in, and she never completely recovered from that. She tries a little too hard to be witty and, although the book has action, I felt like she was a very passive character. I think that's due in part to the way she conveys action...she tries for humor, but ends up stealing any sense of urgency. The book seemed to take forever to develop, yet the end leaves us pretty much where we started. 
 I enjoyed Raine's colorful collection of friends, but until the last 70 pages or so the readers meet a friend and move on, meet a friend and move on... There's no chance to get to know any of the characters or understand how they're connected. For example, the entire plot hinges on a theft by Raine's friend Quentin, but he doesn't really factor into the story after about Chapter 2. 
 There's enough here that others might find it a worthy read. I guess it simply wasn't my cup of tea.
