This book is HUGE. The futuristic, dystopic world drawn is intense and complex, interesting and ... repulsive at times. The characters are both various and also complex, like the world itself. I loved the futuristic side of this book, as well as the complexity and the multiple conflicts, but I could have done without the graphic sexuality. It kept me from reading the rest of the series, which I'm sure are equally fascinating.
