Really cool magic system and rich world building, but the pace was way too slow for me. Lots of exposition and too much navel gazing for my taste. I also didn’t find the characters super compelling… there was very little character development throughout this book, though I am told much more in the next two.

I can see why this is heavily enjoyed but it was my first epic fantasy and I struggled with the slow pace. I didn’t enjoy or feel gripped to the story until half way through but definitely think this is a me problem! Would recommend but won’t be reaching for book 2 for a while
