It’s so hard to rate this one. I loved it, but found it tedious. The book was way too long, but the world and characters felt so fleshed out. Overall, I found this book to be outside of my normal reading realm and I think the writing was beautiful. I wanted different things than the story gave at times, but I found it satisfying.
