I thought this was really…nice. It was kind of pure and lovely. It took me awhile to get through it, and recognizing the names was really difficult on the audiobook, but finding the wiki helped.

Struggling with narrator switching to new edition
Really good story! If I could I would remove half a star for the confusing and overly-similar names of characters. But otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed it. A very kind and likeable main character.
It is very detailed and heavy on world building, which is why I like it. But the plotting and action just drags throughout the entire narrative. The formal language that most of the characters use in conversing with each other, I feel, bogs down character interactions, which is were most of the action takes place. The unknown keeps the reader going forward, but the pay off is less than anticipated. I almost ground to a halt in the last 150 pages, I was getting bored. *Spoiler* The final assassination attempt, although unexpected, is resolved in a paragraph, and the rest is just a set of trial/interrogations to reveal all the remaining mysteries. I finished the book mostly because it was the last one I needed to finish my 2015 reading challenge. Otherwise, I would have left it sitting for longer to get something more exciting through my system.

6th reading of this book. This time audio reading. One of my favorites stories. I wish she wrote more books like this instead of mysteries.
