When I first started reading this book, I was unsure of if I would be able to finish reading it.  The blurb piqued my interest from the start, so I was excited when I started.  However, the first few chapters had me wondering if maybe my blurb-radar was off.  However, I will always try to finish what I start and in the case of this book, it ended up paying off.In the beginning of this book, there was a lot of information throw at you at once.  It took me a couple times reading through what was being said just too fully understand what was going on.  Another issue that I had with it was there were certain characters that spoke in a certain dialect.  While Justin did an amazing job writing in that dialect, it was also hard for me to follow at times.Once the book really gets going, there is still a lot of information that is displayed, but it is done in a way that it's easier to follow.  You only have to understand one thing at a time, as opposed to several things.  The world's that Justin was able to create, and the different creatures as well, were done in a way that you couldn't wait to find out more.With the way the book ended, it certainly opened up the pathway to a second book in the series.  There were many parts of this book that could do with more explaining, but I am hoping that the next book will be able to answer any questions that are left behind from reading this one.
