I struggled a lot to get into this book, being overwhelmed by the world and its traditions. After switching from the physical book to the audiobook, however, the story easily picked up pace. (Partly, because I finally heard how some names were pronounced).

Would I recommend this book? Yes. After the main crew is assembled, the book is a great read! However, I would also warn that the start can feel very, tantalizingly slow.

Also, interesting to know, this book seems to be the setup for a larger series.
