4.0

I didn't expect to like this book. I had read a lot of criticisms of it and to be fair most of them are valid.  The negatives? This book is written very poetically and because of that it can be wordy.  There are no short sentences as everything is described to the minute detail.  I can see how some people would find this hard to get into a groove for reading. 

But the detailed explanations pay off in the depth that is revealed in the characters personality and interactions.  This book straddles the categories of high fantasy and romantasy perfectly.  There are intricate story lines in a believable world. Are the two main characters figuring out how to be a couple? yes? but this is primarily as a result of the story progressing and not the reason for the story progressing.  

Can't wait for book two!
