It may be my own fault for having false expectations, but I was somewhat put off by what an unlikable misanthropes almost all of the main characters were, even the "better" ones...
Also, for a book, clearly riffing on Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven it is a bit weird how many elements seems to be taken almost verbatim from The Crimson Empire by Alex Marshall.
