A lovely book. Not a complete book, but a lovely book. Beautiful worldbuilding, enchanting characters, lovely descriptions, great action, gripping tension. The romance in it is-- typical. Love at first sight, etc. But it didn't suffer much from it. That's what excellent storytelling does. The second half does drag a bit, but I read it very quickly all the same. The only reason it's not five stars is that it's not a complete story.
