I do. It's 1000 pages, and the first half set the stage and introduce the world and its rules, so it's slow. After that it becomes exciting of the can't-put-it-down variety.
It's very well written, with a deliberate Jane Austen style (right down to archaic spellings and fake footnotes).
It's not her craft I'm faulting -- she has that down. But it'd be an even better book without the mincing, effeminate sociopath villain and his underdeveloped-black-character sidekick.
