Listened to this as an audiobook on a long drive. I give it 3 stars for its ability to hold my attention (just too much introspection for my taste; would have liked more active scenes) but 4 stars for writing, particularly the description which was vivid and invoked all my senses. I also liked the cast of well-developed female characters. I wish more questions would have been answered at the end though. I doubt I'll continue on with the trilogy, but I do look forward to the upcoming movie version.
