It was super slow. Then i was invested. But 70% in i was bored and there are too many good books to keep reading things I don't enjoy especially when the book at 12 hrs left of a 40 hour audio book. I gave it a good go. I wish it was quicker paced or I felt more involved with the characters. I also hate trying to keep track for 4 pov. Especially in an epic fantasy. I did like dumai character story the best. I hated tuvua hers was the most drawn out.
