Quite a slow start which took me a minute to get into, but that's true of most adult fantasy stories I get into (the world is already established and I need a minute to catch up while the lore trickles in). By about chapter 6-7, I was fully immersed and entralled. Was it a bit predictable at times? For sure yes, but not in a way that took anything away from the plot or the experience. Everything written in this book served a purpose and came full circle by the end. Nothing was waated or overexplained, everything was well-paced and well-written.
Bit gory at times, took a minute to get into, and times felt like it dragged a bit, but I can appreciate the way it was written: to establish the characters, their discoveries, relationships, and to allow the world to reveal itself to the reader whilst building up to the ending. Very much looking forward to reading the sequel.
