Well, it's a marvelous bit of characterisation, for one - Themis is... awful... to start out with, true, but she's meant to be, and by the end, I was cheering her as hard as any canon character. The world-building seems decent, too, if a tad over the top, and the mystery turns out a lot more interesting than just a mere did-she-didn't-she.
And in the meantime, I was amused by watching the viewpoint of a stuffy, overcivilized tentacle monster.
*shrug* I can see why you'd call the pace 'slow', at that point, and honestly I don't think it ever gets to be really racing, but it does move if you stick with it, and I enjoyed it a great deal.

"Puripuri puripuri... Bang!"
