mysterious sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Despite the shocking opening This took forever to get into.  There were so many characters it was hard to keep them straight.  There were plot points involved that seemed to go nowhere.  As if they took a 600 pg epic and cut it in half,  leading much to be desired.  

I hear the series gets better so I'll try book 2. Then update if it was worth the time.
