Best book ever
Didn't knock my socks off, but it presents a fun world with fun characters. I'll definitely give this series another read.

And I wanted so badly to like it.
I don't know, maybe I'm too stupid for this book; but throughout the vast majority of it, I had no idea why stuff was happening (and the main character actually repeatedly refuses to explain this to his supporting characters). The plot is only explained at the very end in a pretty monstrous infodump.
