Why indeed?
Actual rating: 4.5 stars
I always find it particularly hard to review books that I loved, so bear with me. It might just be a long line of asdfghjklasdfghjkl, I don't quite know yet.
If you're on the fence about reading this book, I have two words for you: ASSASSIN NUNS. That's all it took for me to start reading this book, and obviously, I wasn't disappointed.

Short Review:
Well, this book was very long! Longest book so far for me in 2015.
I loved the first 200 pages or so, but then it dragged and was a bit boring. I wanted more action, but instead it was more just talking and "falling in love" stuff going on.
The last 100 pages or so made up for that thou so i'll give it 4 stars.
I will be reading book 2, mainly because it's a different person's POV :) ...more

I personally do not like historical fiction, but this was an exception (+ Graceling). This book was long but very worth it! There was never a dull moment within those 500+ pages and I just couldn't stop reading it. As a matter of fact, it is 7 pm and I still haven't done my homework, because I finished reading this first.
