The first half of Name of the Star is sort of slow (although Johnson's characteristic sense of humor keeps it fun as the plot gestates) but knowing that this is meant to be the first book of a trilogy explains the necessary background-building.
The second half definitely makes up for lost time and made me love this book. I've heard people say that it has a Torchwood/Doctor Who feel, and I agree for the most part. Additionally, THAT ENDING. The sequel can't come fast enough!
