This book took me so long to finish and while reading it I mainly just wanted it to end. Up until the 60% mark it was literally just world building, so I would recommend only reading this if you are open to reading the next two. I really enjoyed how in-depth everything was described, especially the clan politics and different strategies. Yet again a very slow paced book, but I loved the characters and (slight spoiler) grieved them and certain connections/ friendships they had. I personally won’t be reading the next two, but I feel as though I would if I wouldn’t be such a mood-reader.
