Beautiful world building, probably the best I've read in a long time, nice writing, refreshinglying brutal violence but in the end...
Painfully predictable. This book was riding the five star wave until halfway through when the characters began to change and contradict themselves. Felt very forced and planned so that we'd accept the romance, which I'm not happy about and frankly bored by.
Nevertheless, will be buying the sequel, because a lot of questions were left unanswered.
