This was incredibly well translated. When I think of the last translation I read...I think it was A Winter's Promise? The book felt like a lot of things were just shoved in and underdeveloped when in reality it could totally have been things not translating from French to English and then to the reader...I was concerned about this but totally not an issue! I am incredibly impressed considering you not only have a translation but a completely different alphabet and culture to think about during that translation.

The world...feels big and despite not being a giant book itself, there are a lot of characters. I did find that overwhelming at times since we are also moving geographically and have a time jump but that did not deter my enjoyment of it! I bought the first 3 books on a whim and I am incredibly happy I did that. I really liked that we got so many perspectives and loved the adventure.
