  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

The first time around I dnf-ed it at like chapter 10. The book is plot-heavy and at the time I needed something lighthearted. But I picked it up again a few months later, when I was ready for an epic-fantasy trilogy. And I am glad I did. This became my first five-starred-fantasy of the year.
