ARC review; thanks to NetGalley, Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, and Del Rey for the access to this ebook. 

Another review that's super late, but I'm sorry to say this is a DNF at 42%. I held on as long as I could, but I just didn't like this. It shouldn't take more than 40% to get into a world or whatever's going on in the plot, so I'm bailing. This could be a me problem because most reviews are 4 or 5 stars, but that's just not the experience I'm having. 

The first 15% was great. I loved the setup of the mystery, the dynamic between Din and Ana (I agree it's reminiscent of Sherlock and Watson's dynamic), and the things that were revealed about the world. However, after that point, it starts to go at a slower-than-snail pace and it feels like nothing is happening at all. The dynamic between the characters and the worldbuilding just wasn't good enough to hold my interest and I found myself counting the minutes for the chapters to end. 

I wanted to love this because I've heard such good things and I was excited to get to it, but I could barely get to 42%.
