The pomegranate gate was a good read. The characters were vivid and the worldbuilding stunning and immense. The only issue I had with the book was the  wry slow pace. The end 1/3 picked up massively but the first was plodding and I put down the book for months before I picked it back up again. But all in all an enjoyable read and I will read the sequel.
