For a dollar, this was a reasonably good bargain.  The world has some original ideas, the action flows fairly smoothly, and there's enough potential in the characters to make for an interesting story.  The book is mostly bogged down by a rather un-charismatic main character who grows more powerful over the course of the book, but also seems to get by through being rescued or just by stumbling into a successful outcome by luck.  I like that the author actually tries to keep the reader guessing a bit as to where the inevitable romance angle is going to go, but I never really felt any chemistry between the characters.Again, there's enough going well in this book that for the dollar I paid for the Kindle version, it was worth it, but hopefully the protagonist will become deeper as the series progresses and the price potentially goes up.
