This was a book that got rave reviews from my friends, so I thought I give it a try. As a whole, I enjoyed the book, but I don't think I loved it as my friends did. For me, the book had a very slow start to it. Usually, I love when authors just throw us into the world. I'm left intrigued and unable to stop reading/listening. However, I found myself lost a lot, not quite understanding what was going on.

This confusion took a while to unravel since I was about 40% through the book before the real action started and I had a firm grasp on how this world worked. Once the action started, I was drawn in. There were some more slow parts here and there, but the character development started, the plot really started, and I was really interested to know what was going to happen. Then I got to the end, and now I will be picking up the next book in the series because I'm hooked.

I wish it didn't take so long for the story to really start, but as a whole, I did enjoy the book and can't wait to find out what happens in the next!
