I wanted to love this book. It had all of the elements of what I love in a fantasy, but for some reason, I couldn't get into it. I think if the chapters had been longer/we'd stayed in one POV for longer stretches of time, I might have been able to breeze through it. Unfortunately, since the two storylines of our FMCs don't really converge until you're nearly finished with book one, it felt like I was constantly having to switch which pile of information I needed to recall too frequently since the storylines were so separated.

It took me nearly a year to finish and I'm not sure if I'll be continuing with the series, but I am curious about some of the side character's arcs so if I do, it will be a while before I pick up book two.
