The pace of The Hallowed Hunt is rather slow, but now around the half-way mark the story seems to come to a first culmination. Interestingly, the book feels old-fashioned in a good way, it reminds me a lot of the epic fantasy books from Tolkien to Guy Gavriel Kay, it just seems more focused on the characters than the story.

Lois McMaster Bujold is working on upping the stakes at this point in the novel and I'm so curious to see how she will weave together all the strings that have been laid out over the first two thirds.
My only critique at this point is very subjective and I feel like a little superficial; I would've really wanted to learn a bit more about the main female character Ijada, mostly about her view on what she goes through.

The amount of substance in this book is astonishing, there's no room for any superficiality. It's not flashy, but it's also not lacking when it comes to descriptions, they're just not in the foreground.
The main characters are likeable, but with a good amount of issues for further development.

Bujold is a more character driven author, which I appreciate. I'm currently reading her Vorkosigan SF saga, and it's also character driven with some really great characters and interpersonal plotlines. I will add this series to my TBR once I get through Vorkosigan, as I know I will want to read more!

Yes, the characters really shine in the two books I've read of the Five Gods World. It reminds me quite a bit of Robin Hobb, my first love when it comes to female fantasy authors.
