I really enjoyed this one. It looks like a lot of people thought it was a slow start to the series, but I liked the slow build up, and I loved all the mythology. I hear the series just gets better and better, so I'm excited to see what happens next!

I really enjoyed this little fantasy adventure! Some may find this one to be a little on the slow side but honestly, when there's decent character and world building happening, I really don't mind a slow plot!

We are introduced to a new world, new characters and even a fascinating new religion.
I thought this was really lovely and I can't wait to pick up the next one! ...more

I am so glad I found this series
This is an awesome opening to a new (to me) series. Great plot, many interesting twists and turns, characters you come to really care about. I recommend this book very highly.
