4.5

This book is one of the best reads I've had in a long time. The author has such control over her world and her cast of characters. The way the stories intertwine and reveal themselves is so satisfying to read and almost reads like a fantasy mystery with how many reveals happen throughout the book. I think I was hoping it would be a little darker than it was but if you like just a great fantasy tale with dragons and amazingly compelling characters, this is the book for you.
