Fantasy is not usually my thing, but I really enjoyed Lo's Ash and had bought a digital copy of this at some point. For whatever reason I figured now was the time to read. I found it slow going for awhile, but eventually I felt invested in the characters and story enough to keep going. Overall, it seems like it could have been cut down some, but I enjoyed the foray into this interesting world.

I love the descriptions and the setting, but the magic and the relationships could've been developed a bit more.

obviousthings's review
DNF at the end of part 4 (85% according to my ebook reader). I did really like the beginning of this, but I eventually lost interest. Not sure if that's me or the book, though - I'm picky about what I read these days & it seems like I only really like about YA about a quarter of the time.
