4.14!
This was a debut novel and it amazed me to see an author's first work so refined and well thought of I mean just look at the plot!
This one was very slow, it took me a month to get through it but it was kind of worth it tho I like fast paced action packed novels this had very minimal of that it was more of a journey of characters with plots twists and secrets unraveling, it focused more on the world building and the magic system but it wasn't overdone like Robert Jordan did there was this essence of Roberts writing style and a tinge of Sanderson which I enjoyed quite much and this overall was a character driven book but what shocks me is that I had not been rooting for any of the characters throughout the book.
But this was enjoyable!
I would not recommend it to everyone jus to the section who read Sanderson rothfuss or Jordans or gwynns books

Great read, keeps you on the edge of your seat with lots of plot twists and teases of a bigger plot that is slowly revealed.

This is the epic fantasy I have been missing. I loved everything about this book, from the characters and the mysterious pasts of all of the characters to the magic to the layers upon layers of reveals. All of the characters feel so distinct and lively and there is so much to learn about them as the book plots along. If you loved the epicness of Wheel of Time, but want to read a series that is a lot shorter (just three books!), then you will want to pick this one up! At around 700 pages, it is certainly long, but that feels like the exact right amount given how much happens in this story and the pacing throughout is just right.

Excellent. Feels like a darker wheel of time.
If you like Jordan but hate the way he writes women , this one's for you. Well paced, plotted, with intriguing mysteries and well-written characters.
