4.5

Although I felt like some parts of the book were slow at times, I never felt the actual length of the book. There was excellent world building, character development, a wonderful representation of all kinds of relationships, and that it was kindly balanced when it came to death or misfortune. Overall, just a very well done fantasy novel. I would highly recommend it to others.
