I deducted a partial star only because there is one storyline that was paced too slowly, in my opinion. I found myself caring a little less about that character and the story dragged in that part. All other storylines were perfectly paced and engaging.
The ending of this story is beautiful, and very satisfying. All in all, a masterpiece of a book.
