Ooooft. It’s a looooooooong book. Cool premise, interesting world, and characters that you want to read about. Just, it’s so unnecessarily long. For the length of the book, I would’ve expected more world building - no clue how the magic system works or the nitty gritty of the political conflict. This book probably could’ve been cut by a third/quarter and it likely would’ve bumped up the rating.

I’ll keep reading tho - dammit.

I enjoyed the second half way more than the first, it felt too slow and repetitive. How many times can they make daymeal, practice fighting and set camp?
I enjoyed the plot curves and I'm interested enough to read the next book but not so much that I'll pick it up right away.
