3.5 - I was good not bad but also not exactly mind blowing. A lot of cliches for one the spells rhymed…often, “so mote it be”. There was the huge build up to battles to come but you only experience 5 minutes of it but at least the timeline was realistic and the death toll- this weighed heavily on me while reading, death and loss. The first book of this trilogy was by far the best.
