What I liked: 
 -the story 
 -the main character 
 -okay all the characters 
 -the classy, rich writing 
 -the setting and the world 
 What I didn't like: 
 -the love triangle??? like what??? 
 -sometimes the writing was too detailed/ "purple" for my taste 
 -the POV changes were occasionally annoying (*cough* head-hopping) 
 But I did quite enjoy the story as a whole. The High Fantasy aspects were done well. The characters were mostly well done. I will read the next book, but not right away.
