5.0

This is one of my favorite fantasy books to date.
What stood out to me was that the world building was primarily gleaned through character perspective, which I prefer to lengthy descriptions of setting.
The care that was taken to bring the reader fully into the world of the dorimarites exceeded most others I've read-though it admittedly achieves this with a slow start to the book.
I highly recommend it and will likely re-read soon!
