4.0

I would give five stars but for the subject matter. The writing is delightful, the characters likable, the fantasy charming, and the plot engaging. I just really don't like the whole military angle. All the rank and subordination and duty nonsense. Thus, I can say I really liked the book, but I didn't love it. I daresay Naomi Novik's other novels will interest me more, and I look forward to reading them.

That being said, I'll continue with this series and would recommend it.
