Rounding up from a 3.5 as it was on the better side of it

I have such mixed feelings about this one.

On the one hand, what an amazing world, premise and character rich novel.

On the other hand, slow-amazing-amazing-slow-slow-slow-AMAZING. That's the pace of the book and it was soooooooo frustrating at times.

Will I read the rest of the series? Yes.

Will the series ever be a re-read? Probably not.
