This was a decent book, tense and interesting with good, familiar characters.

But I found it a little complicated, things that were never quite explained well enough to satisfy me. Which isn't always a bad thing, because generally I like complicated and I like challenging to understand. But this felt vague, like [a:Catherine Fisher|190887|Catherine Fisher|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1309461768p2/190887.jpg] didn't really understand the intricate details of the things she was weaving together and the mythology she was creating and drawing from so couldn't explain it well. Maybe I'm wrong but there's usually a different feel to books where the author knows things they leave unexplained and when they don't really delve deep enough into their story to understand it well enough to really write it.

Also the ending was rather abrupt, there weren't any loose in but everything was wrapped up in two pages and then it was done. I would have liked the resolution drawn out and enjoyed as much as some of the descriptions.

But Fisher has created an interesting world and engaging characters so it's still a good book and fun to read.
