Perfectly fine. Difficult to give an ensemble cast such distinct characterization in the wordcount, but they felt distinct. Quite a richly developed world for such a short book. But the plot felt a bit rushed, and there was a bit too much explaining-things-to-the-newbie to get over the difficult bits. I would have preferred to meet this world in a longer book so I could learn all the nuances more organically. But Shahin was hot; that worked.
