As I read with other reviews, the first half of the book is bogged down by way too much exposition to the point it was consistently happening throughout dialogue. It made for a difficult time getting into it despite a stellar opening chapter. However, halfway through the book the pace picks up and the story really shines. The setting was beautiful and a nice change from the typical medieval England based setting. The side characters were the most interesting ones, IMO. I would have loved a book based on Kali or with the prince as the LI instead of Cavas. Overall, HBTS is an enjoyable read once the author breaks away from the heavy world-building. I loved the diversity of the cast and hope to see more from her in the future.
