this story and world are gorgeous in their construction but i found it difficult to care about any of the characters.

This book was dark and twisted, and had some graphic descriptions of scenes that made be a bit sick to my stomach - in an enticing and exciting way. It had moments that made my jaw drop, and it gets lots of points for a unique magic system and fantasy setting. The pacing of the book was strange - pivotal scenes of the story held the same weight as the description of a street, so if I was reading too fast, I actually missed some major points. Really great book!!!
