  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

5.0

I am not typically a fantasy reader, but am a big fan of the author. This book is so well written. Horrifying at parts (read the authors note afterwards- some of the violence is lifted directly from historical records) but I still could not put it down.
