3.5

The pacing of this book didn't seem to do it justice, the first two thirds seemed predominantly 'set up', but with little depth and then the last third felt rushed, with action for action's sake. I felt that a lot of the worldbuilding didn't leave room for much depth to the characters, and meant I didn't really care for them as much as I should have. I didn't dislike it, but I'm not rushing out to buy book two.
