I really enjoyed the book. Some parts seemed kinda streched out, but it was good. It is kinda disappointing that there are two books wedged into one and they don't meet, but i guess that will happen during the next two books. I enjoyed both stories a lot and I am interested to read how this will work out when their (very different) worlds collide.

Update on my reread now in 2024 (og review from 2016):
I still enjoy the world building but am no longer as enamored with the story as I used to be. It drags on a bit, especially with the two seperate stories and I found myself bored at times. I'm still excited to keep my reread going, but im lowering my rating.
