    Encouragement for those just starting out...

    I onlystarted loving this book after 200 pages, and it is now one of my all-time beloveds. It is a MASTERCLASS on worldbuilding, and the characters are SO loveable ((or hateable, in one case)) if you are patient and get to know them. It's worth it, I promise; the prequel-sequel is even BETTER.

    This was a pretty fun read! I enjoyed the setting and the plot and thought the characters were fairly well written. The writing is the only thing that I’d say needed some improvement.

    An expertly written fantasy novel. This book requires some patience for the first few chapters as the author sets the stage for the story. The payoff is big though, because the plot is detailed and complex. The world it takes place in has a richness and depth that I wish all fantasy novels had. Despite the book’s length, I always felt engaged and the pacing was well done. Overall, a super enjoyable read that really satisfied my craving for epic fantasy!

    Holy cow the imagery in this goes crazy hard. One could just say "he appeared from behind the tree" or (if you were a boss) you could say "A silhouette parted ways with a nearby tree" woah.

    So this book really throws you straight into the deep end in terms of world building. The first few chapters were a bit rough because I was constantly trying to remember who everyone was, where they were from and what their role was. Now I’m at chapter 10 and I feel like I’ve fully gotten through the gauntlet and I’m SO invested in this story!
