I like it a lot, I was happy to revisit it. I don’t like it quite as much as some of the future books in the series but it does a great job in laying the groundwork for this world and characters. The person who sold this book to me called it “Harry Potter for gun nuts” and as much as I hate everything about that analogy it’s not inaccurate. I would have called it a less gay version of White Wolf’s World of Darkness, but I guess that’s a bit of a mouthful.
I will echo the point that the main character seems a little OP without being too Mary-Sueish. He’s obviously a sort of avatar for Correia but I don’t think it gets too distracting and Owen Pitt is a likable protagonist.

Dude's initials are literally O.P. Wonder if that was an intentional joke or not?
