I really enjoyed this, even though I’ve never been a fan of page heavy books. I couldn’t put it down and there were so many occasions I wouldn’t realise how many pages into the book I was.
That being said, the book does move very slowly, slower than Dune I found. But with Dune I found myself struggling more compared to this.
Very expansive with lived in settings and characters which were the saving grace. With that I didn’t mind how slow the plot moved.
