I have had this book sitting on my TBR for almost two years now, and I am so glad that I finally picked it up. I mean, I was captivated from the first page and had a hard time putting it down. I just wanted to keep reading. I loved learning about the past and histories of all the different characters, and hit seemed like everyone had an important role to play. The world-building also blew me out of the water, and I am very much looking forward to the next book.
