I'm not terribly impressed so far. Not because it's "gritty" or "violent," or because of problematic race issues or whatever. It's just not well written. When I say "not well written," I mean: it's often difficult to know who is talking or what is going on. It is sometimes poorly-written in the most basic of ways: failing to communicate your meaning to the reader. There's also a few odd departures from established style conventions for no real reason at all, but I can overlook those. I can't overlook conversations between three or more people I have to read and re-read to properly understand because there's no quotation marks or dialog tags.
