3.0
All three characters were following their own paths and this book contains 3 completely different and separate plot lines. They don't marge until the very end, and even then it's only Varg and Orka. ELvar's point of view just kind of sets up the plot for the second book at the end.
This kept me entertained for the most part, but I wasn't as involved as I had expected to be considering how popular this book is, so it took me a lot longer than anticipated to finish, and even then it was with help from the audiobook. I don't really have much to say besides being on the verge of boredom for 2 out of 3 of the points of view.
Hopefully I enjoy the second book better now that things have finally picked up.
