I finally started reading this series. I thoroughly enjoyed the premise as well as the two main characters.
At some points, the fast pacedness left me very confused, and the world-building left me with the same feeling. It was scattered, only the two main characters linking it all together in half-hazard chase scenes. Even though there were questions purposefully left unanswered to draw the reader in, it felt more unfinished than anything. When Throne of Glass hinted at the main plot, it was a very small piece. This book is littered with it, but there's barely any real information to grab on to. If that makes sense. Side note, I was actually very angry at TOG for doing that after I read the series. At least this book hints at what you're getting into.
But I can see the different threads weaving throughout the story (intended pun), and I am excited to see where they go from here. I'm hoping that the questions in this book will be answered in the next one. And maybe it will slow down in pace a bit?
