I love the description of the world,  the people, the food.  I felt immersed. 
That is why the story broke my heart. So much so, I had to slow down my reading pace to feel the feels. I was reading so fast trying to run through the painful parts. 
I wished some parts of the story was different.  But I did still think it's a good book.
