I was soooo intrigued by the premise of the story. I was excited to see the epic world building that it could build upon. The idea was phenomenal and the first quarter of the book ensnared me.
The the second quarter started and the excitement started to ware away. The epic world building I was expected was still partially there but this was turning into a mere YA novel and the focus started to scatter in many directions. The upcoming revolution and prophecies, the family squabbles, and mixed in with a little world building here and there took up the biggest chunk of the middle of the book.
I was set to give this a four star review based on the originality of the story, but then the end came along and everything just ended with a tad bit of disappointment. I would have liked something more open ended that could lead to something further down the line. But the way it ends I can't see where the author may be taking this if at all.
