Really - I think it took me 2 months on and off to sit down and commit to reading this book, then 2 weeks to actually finish it. 

While it does start slow, the world building and plot development done in the beginning of the book paints a rich and complex world that draws you in and makes the events of the book that much more impactful.

Love, betrayal, dragons, witches, what more could you ask for?
