While the premise and plot was interesting, there were so many POVs it was hard to get attached or invested in any of the characters. I did enjoy the background and nuance of the villain. Added some interesting depth to the story.

Just so many words that did very little for me. I love long books but this felt like it should've been much shorter. This is the first time I had to put effort into places to get an image of the character or environment. 

I got to a place where a character is mentioned and I couldn't be arises to remember who that was.

Who approved a book where literally no conflict gets resolved?! This was 600 pages leading up to the next book?

Just really couldn’t get into the story. Historical fiction is not generally my thing but i thought the fantastical elements would make up for it, they didn’t. The writing was also just kind of average so nothing was really grabbing my attention.
