The Order of the Black Tapestry
Survive the tryouts. Join the Order. Defeat the darkness. Heed the Calling.
The time has again come for the kingdoms to offer sacrifices to the corrupt Sovereigns as proof of loyalty. Among the sacrifices is Anara, a human Sayer—anointed by the primordial gods at birth to be a divine instrument.
After being taken to Deimos, the Isle of the Sovereigns, she’s thrust into deadly tryouts for the Order of the Black Tapestry. Led by Talon, a living legend—a dragon soul trapped in the form of an immortal man—the Order protects Deimos from all threats. Each trial is a lesson in pain and perseverance that takes Anara closer and closer to the final test—surviving the Labyrinth of the Minotaur.
As powers awaken within her and the growing heat between she and Talon sparks a fragile bond to form, Anara must aid the Black Tapestry in defeating enemies who would otherwise claim Deimos for their own.
A dangerous undertaking for godkin.
A seemingly impossible task for a human.
But perhaps the divine Calling of a Sayer.

I enjoyed this a lot. You all know I have basically read everything this author has ever published (to my knowledge) and I will read anything Wright creates.
This book both looked and sounded different from her normal fare...and this definitely made me feel like she was going for a more mainstream romantasy atmosphere here. With the world/selection/training situation, it very much felt like The Hunger Games and A Court of Silver Flames had a baby with a Suzanne Wright book. I honestly can't think of any other way to explain the vibe.
It was also a lot less...spicy then usual. And I wasn't feeling quite the connection between her two main leads that I usually do. It was still there, mind you...Just not to the level I am used to.
Regardless, I have faith the next book will be even better. Just hoping it feels more...like a SW book.

I'm giving the extra .5 just for the fact that the MMC never says a word (and we never get his thoughts or POV) in this whole book, which is something I have never seen attempted before in a romantasy book. With that said, I can't say this was done successfully because I wasn't really sold on their romance. The FMC just has literal one-sided conversations with the MMC and then suddenly they hit the sheets, which was weird. Putting that aside, the 40 days of training and the trial at the end also bored me. I really like this author normally, but I will not continue on with this series.

This book was... okay(ish)?
I have read literally every book by this author, and this time she tried to do something a little different. She tried to do a bit less on the romance side and more on the adventure/fantasy side, as you see in other series like Hunger Games and The Empyrean.
However, the author simply could not deliver a seamless and engaging world-building like those series do. There were too many points of confusion. For instance, what was the heroine's training like as an acolyte? What was her life like at all before the book started? We only get vague glimpses of it. Are the Gods good or bad? They seem to be portrayed in conflicting ways, which can work, but here it felt muddled rather than nuanced.
And then there’s the Tapestry. Do they not train in combat? Because there’s barely any mention of it, even though fighting is a major part of their job. What about training to control, tame, and eventually expand their powers? Nada. The heroine basically goes from having no powers to using them safely and expertly, with very little explanation. The book does mention what they do on the job, but not the ongoing training that would make that progression believable.
Even the ending left me with practical questions, like: how many people actually died in the labyrinth? Details like that matter when the story is trying to build stakes, but the world often felt underdeveloped where it needed clarity.
So yes, not a seamless read in terms of the more complex world-building, and since the romance was more of a subplot than the focus, which is where the author can shine, the book just didn't have a strong leg to stand on.
Additionally, I've been having this issue a lot in her books: please, show, don't tell. Is the Hero really that strong? Because, to me, it seemed like he had just as much strength as any other person in the tapestry. In the fights, there was no time he did exceptionally better than everybody else. Same with the heroine's power. We're just told she learned to control it, but the process was never shown in the book.
Anywhoo, I'll stop here. In spite of all this, Suzanne Wright is incredibly creative, and I do get invested in her stories and the world she's trying to create, and I did enjoy some of the romance (it felt very dry in this book, though), so I bumped my rating from 2.5 to 3.
But overall, I hope the next book is better.
We'll see.
p.s: I forgot to mention, the labyrinth takes over 12%(!!!) of the book. Over 60 PAGES of the heroine going through it by herself, and it got sooo boring. It could have easily been half of that and still maintained all its relevance to the story.

Okay, I was bored until the very end of the story, when IT happened... wow.
I want more.

Meh, this was kind of a mess. So much random side character info and dialogue, way too much telling verses showing, the pacing of the story is all over the place and we get no clear direction or build until the last 20%. That part was good though. I wish the rest of the book was that purposeful and direct. Everything prior to that was just a mish mash of scenes and random dialogue. Somehow the stakes just felt so low too. The “villains” aren’t scary or worrisome, the action scenes weren’t pulse raising, our h never has any strong reactions to anything. It just all felt so mid.
This is the first time I have ever read a Suzanne Wright book that was written in first person. For me her author voice works much better in third. I need way more emotional connection to the MC in first person. I did like her though, I just never felt what she felt. I liked the H too. Things are very insta but I did like the way they interacted.

May 26, 2026Ah what could be more romantic as an MMC, that only Communicates in grunts and nods, so sexy. Even for a Wright book that was a lot.
Alas I have no one to blame but myself for still picking them up, so no rating.

This will be quick cuz life is hectic. This was good. HOWEVER, it left me with sooooo many questions. So be warned going in that this most certainly has a cliffhanger—ish ending, but not only that, it also has:
- Holes in the magic system that aren’t exactly explained
- The MMC can’t speak. He grunts and whistles only. It’s rumored, apparently, that it’s because he was an experiment where the soul of a dragon was encased in a human infant
- Age of FMC is 21 years old and she’s a mortal human but was born as a Sayer (that’s never happened before, as they’re usually only born amongst the “godkin” which are descendants of the children of the gods…)
- Other ages are not really known
- There is some discrepancies as far as mortals vs immortals. Humans are mortals but I think godkin are immortal— but they can die??? I think they’re just not affected by age or whatever. It’s kinda not fully explained for my liking
- MMC supposedly has a soul mate named Eva that reincarnates every so many years and she’s due in the next year or so??? But he responds to the FMC in ways he’s never responded to other females before. But— none of that is explained. Odd choice by the author to want to wait a year (next installment is set to be released in 2027) to elaborate on so much content that feels pertinent to the story
- The whole book is about the FMC surviving a grueling trial known as Xalbia so she can become an officiate of the Order of the Black Tapestry. She was chosen as a sacrifice and apparently other options were worse. Xalbia takes weeks/months to complete and I shit you not, the author chose to elaborate on the final challenge of the trial to run the span of about 30 pages if not more. I was so friggin over it and started skipping parts.
FINAL THOUGHTS?
I really enjoyed it and found it really interesting, but given what I now know, I might would have waited for it to be released in its entirety to read it. The author intends on so much time between releases (2027 for 2nd installment and 2028 for the 3rd one) without offering enough information to feel sufficiently informed about the established story.

4.5 stars
The Order of the Black Tapestry is the first book in this trilogy and ends in a mild cliffhanger and HFN.
I loved every moment of every page of this book, it was impossible to put down. Suzanne Wright did not disappoint with this book and has once again delivered an incredible story filled with everything that I treasure in sizzling paranormal romance stories.
Anara was a witty, astute, cautious, determined, and quick-witted FMC.
Talon was a mysterious, formidable MMC who was protective and possessive of Anara.
I really liked both characters (and Anara’s fun friendship group). The chemistry between them was electric and the connection evident.
The plot and world building felt different to previous Suzanne Wright books, but this one was just as detailed and compelling. The world building felt fully fleshed out, which impressed me considering this is the first book in the series.
The plot’s pacing was exciting and kept me engaged. It focused on more than just the MCs evolving relationship, this does seem to be a bit of an emotional/ romantic slow burn.
A recurring theme for the characters in the Order of the Black Tapestry is that they see a lot of death and danger, which affects how they view relationships. I’m very eager to see how Anara and Talon’s relationship develops in the next two books. I know quite a few future challenges are coming so I’m excited to see how they overcome them together.

What made this writer stand out from the “pack of fantasy writers was her bad—- female characters and the men who matched them in smarts and style.
See Author’s Phoenix Pack, Mercury Pack and Olympus Pride series.
Then there was the incredible world building where grown ups get their version of Disney Villains with a side of naughty and snappy banter.
See Author’s Deep in Your Veins and Dark in You series.
When her Devil’s Cradle came out, wary as it was vastly different than her prior reads. Still, she delivered memorable characters.
This book felt like it was written by a different Author. Like a recycled Hunger Games with trials but no underlying motivation for the heroine’s quest. The secondary characters were bland with no distinctive features other than a running joke between one “couple” among their group of friends.
Seriously, did someone else write the book using the Author’s name as a shameless way to garner hype for the publication ? Curious minds want to know….

What a delicious treat this book was! Suzanne Wright gifted us with a surprise release and it did not disappoint. The Order of The Black Tapestry is the first book in a new fantasy series. If I’m correct I think this is Suzanne’s first foray into fantasy romance and I loved it! I could not stop reading.
The world building is very detailed and lush with a large array of mythical creatures, races, magical powers, and gods. The plot was action packed with an almost breakneck pace. The stakes for all of the characters was extremely high and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The trials they had to go through were intense! There is a large group of compelling characters. I especially loved Anara and Talon. Anara as our FMC is strong, smart, resilient, and determined. Talon as our MMC has an air of mystery wrapped up in an intense sexy package. I also appreciate the found family elements of this story. I feel that is one of Suzanne Wrights strong points, giving us quirky characters that you want to root for or that can make you laugh to lighten a dark situation.
I really loved The Order of The Black Tapestry and give it 5 stars. I already want to reread it and can’t wait for book two!

I loved this book! I didn’t know what to expect from this new book/series, but I could not put it down.
I loved Anara. She had such strength and determination, and never let the fact that she was human (& technically weaker than the godkin) stop her. I loved her wit and banter, especially her one-sided conversations with Talon.
Talon is the best combination of tall dark & handsome/man of mystery and Geralt from the Witcher. The fact that he doesn’t talk at all in this book yet still expresses so much (& without sign language or similar) is a testament to the writing. The chemistry between these two was on point with just the right amount of burn (not instalove but not slow burn either) and just the right amount of angst on what they are together.
So many great secondary characters (& animals!)- especially Khalida and her quirkiness.
Some really interesting reveals at the end, which I can’t wait to see fallout in the next book, and so many questions we need to find out (many about Talon!).
Can’t wait for more in this series!

I didn’t think I would like this books because it’s very different from her usual work. But I did end up liking it. I am curious and have so much questions. Questions I feel like are purposefully left unanswered. Talon - he is basically a mystery and I can’t wait to find more about him.
Would have loved more interaction and more romantic progress between the mcs but I trust Suzanne and very excited to read the next book. Not happy about having to wait for basically a year🥲 but found out she is releasing two other books this year so I’m solid 😅
Thanks for the surprise release! Until next time x

Brilliant as usual!
I didn't even bother to read the blurb, just saw the new release and downloaded and read in a day! Anything from Suzanne is on my reading list immediately.
Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I loved the world building and mythological elements. Really clever and kept me on my toes!
I also love Talon!
I highly recommend the start of this new series and can't wait for the next instalment!

One of my favorite authors and The Dark in You series is a frequent re-read of mine. This book just wasn’t for me sadly. I felt like the author tried something new as the writing style was different from all her other series.

She never disappoints
As allways Susan e delivers a well written story filled with both captivating main charecters but also enchanting side charecters that help build and entice the experience of reading her work
In short she's a literary genius and I will allways worship at the alter of her genius x

Le premier tome de la nouvelle série de romance paranormale de Suzanne Wright que j’ai lu avec grand plaisir !
J’étais hyper curieuse concernant cette nouvelle série parce qu’on a eu très peu d’infos mais pour les fans de cette auteure, il faut imaginer que c’est dans la même veine que sa série Devil’s Cradle !
Le début était un peu compliqué parce qu’on nous balance énormément d’infos et de vocabulaires sur l’univers et j’avoue avoir eu du mal à suivre entre les dieux, les demi-dieux, les archiducs … Mais l’intrigue prend le relais très rapidement et j’ai beaucoup aimé suivre le parcours de notre héroïne, Anara, qui est censée avoir été choisi par les dieux … Sauf qu’elle est humaine, n’a aucun pouvoir et le fait d’être choisi par les dieux va plutôt l’isoler et faire d’elle une cible !
L’intrigue a des accents d’Hunger Games et j’ai aimé suivre Anara dans son initiation pour faire partie de l’Ordre de la Tapisserie Noire (mention spéciale pour le passage dans le labyrinthe qui était bien angoissant !) Et les intrigues politiques sont à peine esquissées mais je suis curieuse de voir comment ça va évoluer (surtout avec les grosses révélations de la fin !)
La romance est intéressante parce que le personnage masculin est muet et est un dragon coincé dans le corps d’un être humain ! Pour l’instant, c’est surtout une relation physique sans trop de sentiments mais j’ai vraiment envie de voir comment ça va évoluer par la suite !
Ce tome est plus un moyen de poser les bases de cette nouvelle série mais je l’ai lu avec plaisir et j’ai hâte d’avoir les prochains tomes pour voir comment tout va s’accélérer !
Bref, le premier tome d’une série de paranormal romance avec une ambiance mythes grecques que j’ai lu avec grand plaisir ! Je suis hyper impatiente d’avoir la suite !

The first volume of Suzanne Wright's new paranormal romance series, which I thoroughly enjoyed !
I was incredibly curious about this new series because we had very little information, but for fans of this author, it's in the same vein as her Devil's Cradle series !
The beginning was a little complicated because we're bombarded with a lot of information and vocabulary about the universe, and I admit I had trouble keeping up with all the gods, demigods, archdukes … But the plot picks up very quickly, and I really enjoyed following the journey of our heroine, Anara, who is supposed to have been chosen by the gods … Except that she's human, has no powers, and being chosen by the gods actually isolates her and makes her a target !
The plot has Hunger Games vibes, and I enjoyed following Anara's initiation into the Order of the Black Tapestry (special mention for the labyrinth scene, which was truly terrifying !). The political intrigue is only just hinted at, but I'm curious to see how it will develop (especially with the big revelations at the end !).
The romance is interesting because the male character is mute and a dragon trapped in a human body ! For now, it's primarily a physical relationship without much emotional involvement, but I'm really eager to see how it will evolve !
This volume is more of a groundwork for this new series, but I enjoyed reading it and can't wait for the next volumes to see how things will pick up !
In short, the first book of a paranormal romance series with a Greek mythology vibe that I thoroughly enjoyed ! I'm so excited for the next books !

Et les intrigues politiques sont à peine esquissées mais je suis curieuse de voir comment ça va évoluer (surtout avec les grosses révélations de la fin !)
La romance est intéressante parce que le personnage masculin est muet et est un dragon coincé dans le corps d’un être humain ! Pour l’instant, c’est surtout une relation physique sans trop de sentiments mais j’ai vraiment envie de voir comment ça va évoluer par la suite !
Ce tome est plus un moyen de poser les bases de cette nouvelle série mais je l’ai lu avec plaisir et j’ai hâte d’avoir les prochains tomes pour voir comment tout va s’accélérer !
Bref, le premier tome d’une série de paranormal romance avec une ambiance mythes grecques que j’ai lu avec grand plaisir ! Je suis hyper impatiente d’avoir la suite !

The first volume of Suzanne Wright's new paranormal romance series, which I thoroughly enjoyed !
I was incredibly curious about this new series because we had very little information, but for fans of this author, it's in the same vein as her Devil's Cradle series !
The beginning was a little complicated because we're bombarded with a lot of information and vocabulary about the universe, and I admit I had trouble keeping up with all the gods, demigods, archdukes … But the plot picks up very quickly, and I really enjoyed following the journey of our heroine, Anara, who is supposed to have been chosen by the gods … Except that she's human, has no powers, and being chosen by the gods actually isolates her and makes her a target !
The plot has Hunger Games vibes, and I enjoyed following Anara's initiation into the Order of the Black Tapestry (special mention for the labyrinth scene, which was truly terrifying !). The political intrigue is only just hinted at, but I'm curious to see how it will develop (especially with the big revelations at the end !).
The romance is interesting because the male character is mute and a dragon trapped in a human body ! For now, it's primarily a physical relationship without much emotional involvement, but I'm really eager to see how it will evolve !
This volume is more of a groundwork for this new series, but I enjoyed reading it and can't wait for the next volumes to see how things will pick up !
In short, the first book of a paranormal romance series with a Greek mythology vibe that I thoroughly enjoyed ! I'm so excited for the next books !

Ok...
Suzanne Wright has always been kind of 'meh' to me, and this wasn't any difference. It was readable.. but boy there were large chunks I wanted to skip.
like the constant info-dumping in dialogue. The heroine is sitting around with her 'friends' and if they aren't talking about whether or not the one couple is exclusive, they are talking about history/mythology/gods motivations, etc. Which may be pertinent to the story but was really slogging to read through.
the labyrinth--the whole thing. I did not care about this much at all. it's amazing how so much of the book is 'we hiked and did push ups etc' and the heroine is falling or almost getting hurt in these little summaries and then pages and pages about her alone in the labyrinth and I did not care.
Talon.
okay, here is my prediction. He's not the hero.
yup, I said it. for some reason, he reads very Tamlin to me. I get that he's the one every woman in the current setting has eyes for and the biggest baddest, etc, right now. but he doesn't seem like her guy. I think her guy is one of these blood sucking other kind. Talon just is too two-dimensional. And so conflicted about her, and the whole Eva thing. I predict... Eva comes back, Talon wavers, their 'connection' sours and then the other guy comes in. Maybe not in that order. But yeah, Talon is not end game.
the heroine. I'm not sure I'm sold on her. Sure, she's chipper and keeps getting up (as an alternative to torture) and she's not whiny or obnoxious--but she's also not.. vivid at all to me. I don't really get who she was--what's an acolyte?--and I'm not sure I understand who she is--what does she stand for? She gets sad when people die, she has enemies, but... she's not real. and maybe the stakes don't seem real. she, of course, will get powers, be protected, be wanted by the best guy, etc etc. But what is the point?
after all this reflection, I'm going down to two stars. I did finish it, I might read book two--to see if my predictions are right, but this is pretty forgettable.

ummmm
I’m not entirely sure how to review this one. I’ve read all of her books multiple times, so it’s safe to say I’m a fan. That said, I found myself conflicted about this book as it went on.
First, a heads-up: this book ends on a cliffhanger, which I believe is a first for her readers.
My confusion starts with the beginning. I initially read the sample and almost didn’t buy the book because it felt a little too much like a Hunger Games-copy, and I wasn’t thrilled about that.
Thankfully, the story became much more interesting once The Order was introduced. I liked the characters and even enjoyed the hero despite his lack of dialogue.
Then the story hit another rough patch for me with the final challenge sequence. I understand why it was important to the plot, but there were multiple chapters devoted to it, and it started to feel repetitive. It reminded me of how Kristen Ashley can sometimes spend pages describing a room’s furnishings.
Ironically, just when the story really grabbed me, I reached the final chapter—and then came the cliffhanger.
I’m hopeful the next book will have better momentum and give the hero and heroine more opportunities to communicate and build their connection. I genuinely like both characters, and I’m invested in the overall concept. However, some of the execution didn’t feel quite up to the standard of her previous books. It honestly made me wonder whether there were changes behind the scenes, such as a different editor.
Despite my criticisms, I would still recommend this book because I’m invested enough that I want to see where the story goes. Just go into it knowing this isn’t her typical romance. It’s much more adventure-driven, and the romance takes a back seat for much of the story.

Absolutely Captivating Fantasy Romance!
The Order of the Black Tapestry completely exceeded my expectations. Suzanne Wright has created an immersive world filled with magic, danger, gods, and unforgettable characters. From the very first chapter, I was hooked and found it impossible to put down.
Anara is a fantastic heroine—strong, intelligent, and resilient without ever feeling unrealistic. Watching her navigate the deadly trials and uncover her true potential was both exciting and inspiring. Talon is everything I love in a fantasy hero: powerful, mysterious, fiercely protective, and impossible not to fall for.
The world-building is rich and detailed, with just the right balance of fantasy, action, and romance. The trials kept me on the edge of my seat, and the chemistry between Anara and Talon was incredible. Their relationship developed naturally, making every interaction meaningful and rewarding.
Suzanne Wright masterfully blends adventure, suspense, humor, and romance into a story that keeps you invested from beginning to end. The pacing was excellent, the supporting characters were memorable, and the ending left me eager for more.
If you love fantasy romance with strong characters, epic stakes, fascinating mythology, and a swoon-worthy romance, this book is a must-read. Easily one of my favorite reads of the year and a definite five-star book!

It’s giving fourth wing, with a lot less internal monologue and the MMC can’t talk.
The FMC just gets on with things in order to survive and is quite pragmatic about her situation. She doesn’t turn everything into a melodrama but does allow herself a mini freak out when needed. I like that she knows herself to be capable.
She’s a human surrounded by descendants of the gods. She is born with the eye colour that means gods can speak through her - called a Sayer. Sayers have always been godkind so the half bloods don’t know what to do with her as she is a human. She is the first human to be put through the trails to join the super elite fighting group. She faces many trials that test her in mind and body. It is all about learning mental strength and endurance. Seeing how long they can go without sleep and on limited foods. Putting themselves in awful situations to push them. Enduring injuries and death traps
I don’t really connect with the main romance plot. The main guy doesn’t talk for some reason that is never explained. We are told he has a very expressive face and communicates in grunts and whistles and eyebrow raises. I just feel like we don’t know him at all and it makes their connection feel purely like lust. It honestly feels more like a situationship than anything else.
I liked the twist ending and am interested to see more

Another good write with 1 issue ..
I love Suzanne Wright's books. I own all of them & have read some of them multiple times. This book is another good write with 1 little issue for me .. If you're reading on a Kindle, there are over 50 pages of Anara going thru the labyrinth. I skimmed thru them because I just couldn't read it thoroughly. I knew what would happen in general; Anara gets into trouble - she gets out, then again and again and so on. Now, I'm Not saying it wouldn't be entertaining to read, I just had my fill of it. So I continued reading from the end of last tunnel on. I did enjoy the rest of the book. 😁
Although I thought the labyrinth kind of dragged on for me, I still can't wait to get my hands on the next to books in this series. (1 called: The Instrument of the Gods coming out 2027. And 1 called: The Fall of the Sovereigns coming out 2028.)
Overall I do recommend this series & any of her other books.

I did enjoy this book, however I did struggle at times through the book with the story and some of the characters. I didn't feel the connection I usually do with Suzanne's other books.But there was something about the storyline that kept me going.
I adore Suzanne's book I've read all of her books and absolutely adore them. However I found this was a different style to her normal writing. If I had been given this book and not told who wrote it I would not have guessed it was a Suzanne book.
It was a ok start to the trilogy, and I will probably pick up the next book as I'm intrigued to see where the story goes.

This is SWs first attempt at a high fantasy style book, as far as I know. Since I love her urban fantasy series, I figured I would give it a try. I am so glad I did. loved it! I was going through a book hangover after finishing Ilona Andrews This Kingdom will not Kill Me and was in the mood for a more High Fantasy style. This definitely gave me that! Anara is a kickass FMC and Talon is pretty badass, too. I really enjoyed the storyline, and the world. The only downside I have is that I once again have a book hangover... And a year's wait for the next book.

Suzanne Wright Does It Again-New Series
What a great beginning. Please release the next 6 books immediately 😁.
Seriously, besides Christine Feehan, Suzanne Wright is the ONLY author I know of who consistently creates compelling, world-class book series that have their own, specific flavor.
When given a chance, I will ALWAYS reach for and give a complete trial to any book authored by Suzanne Wright.
She's one of the very best
Thank you for the enjoyment you share with your readers.

4.75 near perfect stars!!! I don’t like battle scenes as a rule but MAN I was on pins and needles for these. Nearly as much as I was for the hot stuff.??? Whaaaa??? I was so effortlessly transported to a whole other world- how does a Wright do that? Make it so believable? And I adored Anara. Just loved her. And what’s not to love with Talon? The only thing that held me back from 5 full stars was a scene that went on and on and on and on and on… and I knew that was the point but I started skimming there. Also, this isn’t the end of the story right???!!! Thats for the recommendation Val!!

Okay rating a Suzanne Wright book at 3 stars pains me but I had a few problems with the book. I get that it's the first in a series but the last third? was just boring. We definitely did not need 4 chapters on the labyrinth, that honestly sucked out a lot of the enjoyment for me. Also a lot of the trials felt too similar. Am I going to read the next book? Of course, but I was still disappointed in this one.
ALSO I forgot to add the fact that Talon didn’t speak and just communicated through grunts and looks made me feel way less invested in them as a couple.

The world that was built was very creative. The main character is a “sayer” someone the gods speak through. She was put through a trial to be apart of the order that protects the city. The male main character doesn’t speak - unanswered as to why… ended with her powers being awakened with the stoned dragons.

Soft cliffy. Could have been a 5-star read for me except that, while I understand the point behind it, the time spent in the labyrinth just seemed to drag on and on. And on. I have to admit that I skimmed through about nearly all of the second half of the time spent in there. I’m seriously bummed that it seems like 2 years could pass before we get the end of this story.
