The first half was a slog for me. The second half was much better. I appreciated the glossary in the back of the characters and who they were.  Sometimes it can be hard to keep the major and minor players straight in the beginning of a new world. I think I resonated the most with Tane.
I am glad she found her redemption in the end.
