This book was good, but nothing amazing. It would have been nice to have the world explained a bit better, and for a standalone the end of the book seemed a bit rushed. I'm not sure I loved or hated the Slated references. It was a nice touch, but possibly a bit arrogant to use one of your novels as a future game. The way everyone said 'heh' instead of 'hey' really bugged me, I hear it as a dismissive tone than a greeting.
