The style of writing and storytelling is excellent. The pace was fast and the book is readable. Otherwise, the book disappointed me a little, because I feel like the story didn't suit me at all. But I see that there is some potential, so I'll try the second part.

if you want to read something kinda similar to the lord of the rings, but way more brutal, containing way too many affronts but also actually significant (and really cool) female characters, try this series. it's insanely scandalous. you'll love it.
