2.0

This book is politics, politics, politics. There are DOZENS of characters, family ties, lands, and rivalries you have to keep track of. Also, there are never any mentions of emotions; it’s very cold. I like the prose, but it’s so tedious and with no exciting event on the horizon. Cool world-building, but you’re just swept from one procession to the next. 2 stars for the prose.
