Tapped out of this one before getting a hundred pages in. Going for kaleidoscopic and failing by a wide margin, lots of uninteresting--some of them really fucking dim, even ones I don't think were supposed to be--POV-ish characters. Clearly something big and squidlike was going on in the local underworld, but I wasn't buying any of how it was manifesting in the putative main's life. That's another author I'm done with, I'm afraid.
