3.0

This is very, very beautifully written. The plot is meandering and highly metaphorical, which won't be for everyone (and I had occasional trouble as well with reading without taking it in), but I feel that this is a book where the focus should ideally be on the atmosphere it evokes and the gorgeous fantasy setting it describes
