4.0

Definitely not a light read. It was difficult to get into at the beginning, as the characters aren't really introduced and it also doesn't really explain the world which it's set in. So I found it confusing, but once I'd got a sense of the main characters/world it got easier to read and more enjoyable throughout. In particular the last big fight scene was very gripping and well written. I almost stopped this book near the beginning as didn't feel connected with characters but I'm glad I pushed on and now am very eager to read the next book in the series.
