4.5

I don't think this is a book I would have picked up on my own, but I am so glad I received it in a subsciption book because I absolutely loved it. I adore standalones, but this is a book I wish there was more of, because I want to be able to spent more time with the characters. I though the concept was incredible, the worldbuilding was excellent and the writing was beautiful. I will definitely be picking up future books by Reid. 

The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is because it did take me a little while to get into it (although the same can be said for the vast majority of fantasy books) and that it felt a little too slow in places for my liking. But overall I absolutely loved it, and couldn't put it down.
