What I Liked
-Amazing world building
-Some amazing sections of writing and lots of quotable lines.
-Lots of action and mythical creatures
-Great female characters
What I Didn't Like
-There were chunks where I was bored
-I felt most of the characters needed more depth
-It needs a glossary and character map. There are so many terms and characters to make sense of it's easy to get lost, especially for the first book of a series.
It's quite obviously a really well written book and is getting huge praise but for me I felt it was a little bit too much hard work for the pay off of the level of enjoyment I received from it. I've no doubt however that it will make for an amazing series.
