3.5 
 i did like the book. it cost me a lot to get into it, but when i was in, i liked what i read, i liked the characters, the world building, the mythology, the story and what it hinted... but then it stops abruptly and starts telling me another story of the past, breaking the narrative rhythm and confusing me as reader, because at some point i almost forgot about the other story that was happening in the present... 
 the author built a great story and then spoiled everything with that out-of-the-blue and anticlimactic stop/change of direction. 
 i'm still interested in the sequel, i'm curious about it, i want to know what happened to the characters in the other world, but it was supposed to be a fantastic book and at the end it was just a book which kind of disappointed me v.v
