I almost feel like I should have two different ratings, one for the first half and one for the second. They were drastically different. I think Young really shines when writing action scenes, it's a shame we had to wait so long for anything to really happen. The first 50-60% of this was rather uneventful but the battle in the last half was EPIC. I only wish there was more of that throughout the rest. It felt like a lot to wait that long for the payoff, which inevitably felt kind of abrupt after such a long wait.

I received an ARC of this book from St. Martin's Press via Netgalley and this is my honest review.
