This was a beautiful written story and along with the pacing of the chapters it was the perfect length.
I would have given this 5 stars but I had trouble connecting with the characters and it was only at the end that I really cared for them, even then it was only for a few of the characters (but this just might be me).
I would definitely recommend this book, as I think it is one of those books everyone should read especially if they are a lover of fantasy.
