Depressingly mid despite having some potential and nice presentation -- story is too short to do much of anything interesting, and what time you do have is mostly spent meddling around.

Such is the fate of the kinetic novel -- too short to accomplish anything interesting and also too restrained by Key's need to maintain its brand image. What you're left with is a predictable story that could've been more, had it been produced by literally anyone else.
