 I can not express how much these characters have stolen my heart. This is for sure a new favorite series for me, and I'm sure my love will only grow as I move forward with the rest of the Realm of the Elderlings. That said, I am giving this one a 4 instead of a 5 because it really is absurdly long, and all though, by the end I had forgiven it all its sins, I can't pretend that there wasn't about 300 pages in the middle of it that dragged on.
