3.75

Mixed feelings this one. For the first part I was most interested in Felisin's story but then got way more invested in the Chain of Dogs (which I found a bit boring at first) and Kalam's story. I didn't really like Mappo's and Icarium's part for the most part but that's probably just because I found them the hardest to follow and understand. 2 books in and I'd still be completely lost without the reading companions. The world is massive and there are some really good storylines, but it also requires massive effort; making it not exactly an ideal book to read after work or before sleeping. The last 200 pages pull the rating up from 3 stars to 3.75.
