Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey

3.0

I had to really push to get through the last section of the book - Loved the beginning, the life in the night court and training with Dulaney, and all the palace intrigues, but once the scope of the world got too large, I really lost interest - none of the characters outside the 4-5 main characters really felt developed - they were just cardboard figures needed to advance the political plot, which held little to no interest for me, and I had trouble remembering who all the people I didn't care about were, and what they had done. All the battles and wars were boring, and really took away from the cool world-building that had happened earlier in the book. I won't be reading the rest of the series.
