Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman

4.0

Yay!

Rachel Hartman says in her acknowledgments that this book was a beast to write - it's also a beast to read, though I do mean that in a good way. Quite long, with a huge cast of characters and a variety of settings, complicated plot points - there's a lot going on here and it's a different type of reading experience than Seraphina. It's well done - the ending did seem a bit rushed (after 600 pages, I wanted a bit more detail about how it all worked out), but I'm hoping that it only means there's more to come. A lovely, original, and smart fantasy series.
