I'm still confused after reading this one. There are too many characters to keep track off. You are given hints about important things that define what is happening and what Genny is doing, but never enough to remove the confusion. By the time things are revealed I've forgotten why they're important. I think there's a good world, a good character and a good story in here somewhere but there's so much happening and so little explained that I'm pretty much lost the entire time. Even with the story wrapped up I'm still not sure about half of what happened. All this confusion prevented me from forming a relationship with any of the characters or any sense of excitement because I kept getting distracted by my confusion.

For the record I am not a reader who gets confused easily. Really the opposite - usually I string even the most confusing story around and I'm a long time UF reader so this type of book is nothing new for me. It's just too much at one time for me.
