Slow at times, but full of delightfully written characters. I found myself rooting for most of them and enjoyed the character development.
The pov switches every chapter which sometimes overwhelmed the story for me. I think I might get more out of a second read. The way these chapters and seeming unrelated plot lines weave together is smart and satisfying.
Overall an enjoyable read full of magic, nods and winks towards history, and likable characters.
