However, the pacing was a bit off. The story took a while to pick up for certain characters (not the main character, though).
I liked the ending but not the way it was written. The POVs were changing very rapidly and it was not enjoyable to read. I also had a few issues with the prose.
PS: Lightsong was my favorite. I'm still thinking about him.
