4.0

Hmm, I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't what I got. Accordingly adjusted my ideas about what the books was about part way through, maybe a grown up version of The Faraway Tree, and discovered it wasn't that either.

I thought it had a slow start or a long prologue, but I was about 2/3 rds through by the time I realised this was in fact the story. That being said, I think I enjoyed it, probably more than this review suggests, but I think that's because I'm still a bit bemused. It reads a bit like a prequel or as I said a really long prologue but the ideas and characters are interesting enough to follow and it has a satisfying enough conclusion.
