3.0
The pacing was quite stunted. Started with a bang, but got meandering, with the characters going to the capital then the north then the capital then the north then the capital again. Not to mention I also think this book would have been much rich if it to did some contemplation around "complicity". Especially around a bigoted regime that targets religious minorities.
Spoiler
a big final battle, literally in the last 20 pages!!! with no warning.

nrogers_1030's review against another edition
DNF @ 56% due to overly graphic animal abuse & death & an increasingly unlikeable protagonist.
