I was a little wary due to some of the reviews and held off reading for a little while but when I did I thorough enjoyed it.
The start definitely is a lot of world building and setting up the series, and some of the writing really didn’t flow well and felt jarring in places, but once it got into the story that disappeared, or wasn’t obvious anymore, and was easily forgiven and forgotten.
Some of the plot I just knew was going to happen, but not in terms of huge sign posts that spoiled the reading, it was subtle enough that I just felt some of it was going to happen at some point, but there were also still plenty of surprises (small and large).
I’m really glad I did finally get round to reading it, and will be returning for the next one in the series after I finish my current library loans.
