The novel is long, but I'm glad it was. The story was told in such a way that all the information was relevant. Everything was wonderfully pieced together and well thought out. When you got your "aha!" moments, it felt rewarding. Made progressing through the novel fun and kept your interest. It's clear the creator put his heart and soul into this work and he delivers. Definitely worth the investment in time, you won't regret it. Good experience :)
