Review: I have mixed feelings on the story, but find it hard to put down.

I think my title says a lot about it. The story and world are in some ways compelling and in others a little off-putting. Then again I'm not a big fan of structured societies like the one in the book which is based on a little on ancient chinese/japanese society.But that is not a bad thing, so don't take it as a negative.I'd read a while and then set it down to think about it, but I always came back to it. It is definitely one of those stories with well fleshed-out characters some of whom you really feel sorry for because of the society they are trapped in and the sacrifices they have had to make for it. I know I'll eventually buy the next book in the series, because I really want to know what happens next.
