Getting through this book was a slog for me, only because the writing style wasn't to my personal taste - it feels kind of formal and distant. But the last quarter of the book really grabbed me, and now I want to read more of the series. Even though I didn't love the prose, the worldbuilding and storytelling was really compelling.
