I think because I read this as an audiobook I sort of found my attention wandering at times. It's a decent fantasy with a great amount of adventure, emotion, and heart. The world has a lot of interesting aspects and lore, but I don't know if I was that invested in it. Not a bad book by any means. I loved the focus of feelings of abandonment, finding your own family, and the power of friendship and all that.

It may just have been a wrong book at the wrong time situation.
