It took me a while to get into this book, having struggled a bit generally to find the time and mindspace to read, but at some point, I read the bulk of it within 2 days. 

It's a great, immersive world with subtle, strange magic and lots of intriguing characters. I do have a lot more questions now that I finished the first book, which I hope will be answered in the second and third book.
