5.0

This book is unbelievably complex and I’m so impressed despite all the different interwoven histories, storylines, and religions, everything made complete sense and was easy to follow (not always the case in giant high fantasy novels). I appreciated that all the details had a hint of connection to the real world, especially the old language that was similar to Middle English! Every narrator had interesting storylines (another big win) but I particularly enjoyed Ead and Tane. And of course the wlw storyline is everything!
