Just as soaring and immersive as it was the first time I read it, and this second reading gave me the chance to notice finer details, absorb the world, and just enjoy the experience of the story all over again. Wonderful, beautiful, intriguing, magical, and gripping.

A good book. Nice diversity inclusion. Pace felt slow at the beginning then rapid near the end. Ending could have been a bit more fleshed out.

This book was slow at first for me. Very heavy in world building for the first 80pgs or so, not that it is a bad thing! After that though, it started to pick up pace a bit. There were times I had feelings about something and then turned out to be right, and other times that I was left in complete shock. Definitely worth the read!

All I'l say is, dont be intimidated by the size. This book is INCREDIBLE. So far this series is tied for the top spot imo
