Too slow and the whole book is too long to be motivated to finish.

I'm currently riding the high that this book has given me, so let's see if I can convey what I need to in order for more people to read this book. Silla has basically been on the run most of her life, moving towns and changing names with her father every few months since she was about 10. One night they are discovered and her father is killed, sending her on a journey across the perilous country to where he said they'd be safe. Sneaking into the wagon of a traveling war band headed in the same direction, she thinks everything will start to look up if she can convince them to let her live once she's discovered. It doesn't. 
The people that killed her father aren't giving up on coming for her and the road of bones is filled with dangers at every turn. When I tell you how much I loved Silla's journey and personal growth, I need you to trust me. Silla in the beginning was very much a push over and made some grave mistakes and she continues to do that as she tries to figure out who she is and what happiness, home and safety means to her. Just when you think you know how the story might go, you're wrong, and as more questions are answered, new mysteries are revealed. 
The romance in this also surprised me, as it was predictable yet somehow kept me on my toes? And the ending. I'm still in shock, and I absolutely cannot wait until the next book is released because I think it will be so much more intense.
