A review by ahbuggrit
Throne of Jade by Naomi Novik

adventurous slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

This dragged quite a bit. The boat was a bit of a slog (tbf it was for the passengers too...)
I understand it's exploring the world and providing background for plots that will presumably come along in later books.
