Where to begin.
I ADORED the premise and the sudden plot-twists. There’s a full spectrum of such different characters but somehow you find yourself remembering who is who (in my case i ALWAYS find that difficult and stressful). Also the political belief system is done so beautifully that you often feel inspired despite the harsh and tense situation they find themselves in.
Sadly I felt offput by the awkward pace of it and how slow everything moved (despite all the action involved). Also I think this is one of those books that could really use a map and/or a guide of each religion. I think it would bring more depth to the world and character building (if you really want to make religion a part of this I think it should be explained).
I think that this will be ABSOLUTELY someone’s favourite book. It was just not mine.
