No, because I actually don't know how to feel about this book.... The highes were so incredibly high and the lows were pretty freaking low. Overall I think this book was just a little too much. Does it all come back around? Of course, which makes it a brilliant tapestry of a story with excellent character and world building. However, sometimes I needed it to just move a bit faster. It was hard for me to actually read, but the audio book was incredible. I will be picking up the second one but I'll need some time in between them for sure.
