Did not finish. The world building was excellent but the writing could not hold me past 280 pages.

very intriguing so far. I especially like the unusual variations on typical psychic abilities - for example, the ability not only to see the future but multiple timelines. The descriptions of the world are very detailed and thorough. I especially like the short passages from a supposed future anthology which gives commentary on each chapter.
