Good read overall, the pacing is a bit slower than its prequel though. I really enjoyed the character development and look forward to more journeys in this world!

I liked the first 2/3 and then started to get bored because all of the essential questions were answered. I’ve never read a story this huge and complicated before, though, so maybe I just don’t like that kind of book. Also thought the romance wasn’t believable, 

and Ead got less interesting after she got into a relationship.

The writing was beautiful, though.

This book just made its way in to my all time favorites.

Despite the heavy world-building, the long list of characters, the very different settings that are described, this book is extremely easy to read. You can easily fall in love with these characters even though you are constantly aware of their flaws.

In the end I was so scared that my favorite characters were going to die that I didn't want to finish the book. That's how much I started to like these fictional people (and non-people too).

I can't wait to read more stories in this world.

There's too much to say about this book. It's probably the best I've ever read so far, and definitely my favorite.
