The story's the long and fairly dry cis-het male centric I expected, but I could listen to Rosamund Pike's narration all day.

If you loved The Hobbit you will love this book because they’re quite similar in the beginning lol. As with any first book in a fantasy series a large amount of the book is dedicated to world building and not character growth. I wish the author hadn’t made so many people’s names rhyme/have more than one name. Other than that an interesting story and a flashy ending that has me eager to see what happens next.

On first read: DNFed, then restarted and gave 5 stars

Reread: 3.5 stars. I enjoyed this more than most 3.5 star reads, but I think that's because I know the arc of the whole story. I'm also just always going to love these books.

Style/writing: 4 stars
Themes: 3 stars
Characters: 3.5 stars
Plot: 3 stars
Worldbuilding: 3.5 stars

Watch me completely neglect the rest of my TBR just to get through this series.

Help, I'm hooked. This was so good.

This is a perfectly average book. There were some parts I really enjoyed and others I either didn't care about or actively disliked. The climax was anti-climactic, but the actual ending (I'm talking about the last line) saved it for me. I will definitely continue in the series because there was enough good stuff going on for me to be interested in the world and characters.
