Query: Not worth the effort

This book has a great premise and, perhaps, great promise. Unfortunately, it fails to develop the former and never delivers on the latter. There is action and there is character development, but the action is so slow and so wrapped in seemingly endless descriptive passages that the characters seem to be frozen figures from a video game with processor lag. I read the whole thing hoping for a change of pace (I was stuck on an airplane), but by the end of the third chapter I just did not care what happened to these muddle-headed muggles with their pseudo-Victorian sensibilities and their utter lack of any spark. I left the book on the plane.
