Just my initial thoughts after finishing at 4am:

This story had me locked in from the beginning! I loved the cast of characters and the setting. The world fill rich and defined but not too much is revealed at once. A good balance of exposition and moving the story forward. 

 There was enough tension (plot and between characters) to keep me turning pages, but so many sweet moments between characters that really balanced out the story. 

Enjoyed the significance of names and naming and the way culture is explored group to group. 

Can we have a moment for the gorgeous cover as well?!? I mean… it really is emotional and evocative especially upon finishing the book!
