(3.5/5 stars) It was hard to get into the plot and story for probably the first half. I eventually got into it but it really became a page-turner for me in the last 5 chapters (out of 89 chapters!) when the pieces of the puzzle finally came together. I am looking forward to the next book of the series, hoping I will enjoy the pace more than I did with this one.
That being said, the world depicted in the book is truly beautiful!
