So I finished this pretty much within 24 hours of starting it, so that says something about it's page-turner value. It had me very engaged. 
 However I do have some problems with the details of the world building, I can't figure out what the level of technology is supposed to be. I found it quite distracting. It really is nitpicky details that annoys me. 
 There is nothing wrong with the story at all - it is a good fantasy thriller with some strong themes of a search for identity after losing a livelihood. And it will not be the last book I am reading my Snyder.
