Before starting this one, I read a few reviews just as a sneak peek to prepare myself. One reviewer said it was the worst book so far in the series, and for her it dragged and almost made her DNF pile. The extra 100 pages were too much for her and she was disappointed.

So I went into this wondering what was gonna happen, especially since more pages usually means more joy for me.

At 20% I thought, hmmm where is the slow part, wonder if it has started yet.
At 50% I figured, ok maybe it is ahead...has to be...cause so far this is drama, emotion, and secrets, my excitement levels were high.
At 70% I realised that not everyone understands or appreciates the brick by brick building of an epic tale, as I gasped for breath and kept going at 1 am.
At 100% I was wiping tears, screaming, and shouting...THIS BOOK WAS AWESOME!!!!

Could not stop reading this book. I went to bed late, woke up early just to finish the incredible flow and story the author built from the first page onwards.

If you are a regular to the series, we have new characters, and old characters are changed forever in this one. Be on the look out for heartfelt moments, tears, and anguish.

To the person who thought this was slow...I suggest you never read tolkein, game of thrones, or any actual meaty epic fantasy, you will be lost...and I ...I am just sorry you cannot enjoy this kind of adventure.
