Just finished this. Fairly generic in an inoffensive sort of way, it's not particularly deep reading, but it's interesting and fun enough to keep you going. Characters are varied and fairly solid, with 3 main viewpoint characters. The female viewpoint character manages to be relevant to the plot without being a preachy stereotype of a stronk womyn and also without any significant focus put on romance.
On the other hand, characterization is a bit shallow across the board, but it's the first book in a trilogy so I can't really fault it for that just yet.

It very much focuses on world building over character building, in fact that was the main motivator for finishing it. The main plot is pretty bland, but the setting is interesting enough to carry it.
