I have several complaints with this book. The biggest being that pacing felt really off: the first half dragged, then about a quarter of it was great, and then the last quarter was SO rushed! I really enjoyed the journey through the isles; that was my favorite part, and the best paced. I was very confused by the ending at first, but after some research I think I better understand what the last sentence is implying. My other big complaint is that I didn't feel like the stakes

(and urgency of Xaden turning venin)

were high enough until the very end. Overall I did enjoy the story, but I'm glad it'll be a while before the next book is out.
