I havent read a good fantasy book that has kept me hooked from start to finish in a long while. I went into this book thinking, "surely everyone's 5 star reviews are just overreacting". Though now, after staying up until 3am every night reading this book, I realise that this book deserves these great ratings. The characters themselves i both love and hate, and their flaws and the means in which they face these flaws are realistic. The world building and language was confusing at first- I hadn't actually consulted the glossary until halfway through oops.. However, I did appreciate the time and thought process put into this book. I just wish that this series would be continued, because I would eat it up and leave no crumbs.
