The last 200 ish pages of this book? Absolute five star, banger, had me hooked. The preceding 1000 pages? So, so hard for me to get through, took me literally a year.
I liked the book overall but it is A LOT of world building and background before you get into the real meat of the story and even though I found a lot of it interesting, there's just soooo much of it. I would say a lot of it was a 3 star for me, but the last section is so good it would definitely be a 5, so we're averaging out to 4. I will reservedly be attempting to read the sequel in hopes that it's more plot heavy and moves a little quicker.
