3.5 stars so far. It's fine, but nothing amazing. And I understand wanting to make a fantasy world feel different from ours, but why do some authors insist on coining new terms for everyday objects with simple names? Examples in this book: seater instead of chair or couch or just seat, younglings instead of kids or children. Also aurorafall, slumber, and turns for night/years. Feels unnecessarily jarring.
