4.5

This book is dramatic, the stakes are high, the main characters are very compelling and the world building is rich and intriguing.  My only criticism is the pacing; this is a very slow read and it would be better with a little less filler throughout.  The ending, on the other hand, feels rushed, incomplete and a bit of a cheat.
