While it took a while, this book sucked me in. A beautiful and rich world, so well described that I was living in this magical world the last few days. The characters needed some getting used to, but once I did, I embraced and loved them. All of them were so carefully crafted and given beautiful depth. All the while a wonderful forbidden romance blossomed in the middle of it. 
The story was a difficult one, but drew me in even more because of it. I suffered with these characters and fought with them. I definitely want to continue the series and keep on fighting with them. I desperately want to know where this world and its characters will go. 
Unfortunately the book at the typical problem of a high fantasy book: a slow start with a lot of world building, making it incredibly hard to be drawn in. It probably took a solid 100 pages. I would’ve given this book the full five stars if it wasn’t for the rocky start.
