I'm going to have to round down... 3.5 stars to this one. 
 It was good and the premise was interesting, but the pacing was kind of weird? And I never really connected with the main characters beyond a surface level. Despite Penryn's familial angst, I never really got hooked by her. 
 And, look, I know it's a trilogy, but that ending was kind of abrupt. Woah, everything happening at once oh just kidding see you in the sequel. I have more questions than answers! Which can be seen as a good thing, and I'm definitely intrigued, but I prefer a bit more closure even when I'm reading part of a series. 
 I don't know. It was good. I just don't think it was as good as everyone else is making it out to be?
