An interesting if ultimately inconsequential read. It almost feels like the prequel you didn't quite need to a series that's otherwise mostly awesome. And I do hope to see Margot again - she's an interesting character. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of development for anyone else and there's a distinct hollowness to the proceedings. It's well-paced but there's something missing. A level of investment that I never quite put down, even when I was at my most engaged.More thoughts at RB: http://wp.me/pGVzJ-kw(NOTE: an advance read thanks to the fine people at William Morrow & Harper)
