I've heard so much about this book in the last few months that I was both eager to get my hands on it, and afraid it wouldn't live up to the hype. I'm very glad to say that it very much did. The detail that the author puts into this world, with descriptions of the scenery, or lack thereof, the clothing, the accommodations, just everything, was so lush and encompassing that I actually found myself feeling chilled while reading. The characters are interesting and are fully fleshed out, so when something happens to even a side character, I care about them. Jonathan's growth, emotionally and physically, was rewarding as well, and I hope for a brighter future for all of them.
