When I read the last line and closed the book, all I could do was smile. It is that feeling when a book hits you in so many ways. You've journeyed with all of those wonderful characters. You shared their food, their sorrows, their laughter. When you love the ending but also sad that it ended. That was how I felt with this book. At that moment, I was thinking 5 stars all the way. Then I remembered... that wasn't how I felt at the beginning. I struggled with this book at first. I was confused and not quite sure what was going on. There wasn't a lot of explanation and I wasn't really pulled into the story. I almost quit it a couple of times but there was enough there to keep me going. I am so glad I did. Once things started to gel together, it was amazing. Everything about this book was fantastic but the part that drew me to it the most was the characters. I felt something for each and everyone. I wanted to hang out with Keetin, felt a kinship with Servan and wanted to punch Lyelee in the face. So many feels. Highly recommended fantasy.
