Reviews

[Shawn Beilfuss · Rating 4 out of 5]

I felt a few transitions in the book were not well done and the way some character arcs were handled left me desiring more adept care, but overall I was anxiously following the story to the end and felt it does a great job at world imagery. The book ends in a way where I can feel satisfyingly entertained and curious to the next book, without that feeling of being left with too many questions.

I am having trouble finishing this so it's going to time out for a while.
