5.0

If I could give this more than 5/5 I would, I loved this book so much.
The story building and world building was incredible and the level of detail in the writing is unparalleled. I love how well John knows his folklore and history, it really shows that he knows his stuff!! I can’t wait to read the sequel and can’t wait to read more of his works. I’m hooked!
