I wanted to love this more than I did. Conceptually, I did love it, and I liked how the series resolved at the end. The use of the griot as a frame narrative was excellent, and the magic and mythology was wonderful, but the experience of reading it felt like a slog. So much happens in a relatively short amount of time, and I almost wish the series had been longer so we could have gotten to know the characters better.
