4-4.5 stars! 
 I was conflicted about this one for a long time. It took me a long time to read (though Dragon Age + Mass Effect fanfiction were also to blame l mao, oops) and it felt slow and a little difficult to get into at times. I adored Siri, Susebron, Lightsong, Blushweaver, Llarimar and many of the other side characters, but Vasher and Vivienna were difficult for me to connect with for a good 3/4 of the book - which was most likely intentional, I know, but still. 
 In saying that, though, it wasn't like anything else I've read before and the last 100 pages or so were incredible. (view spoiler)[The plot twist with Tonk Fah, Denth and Jewels hurt me. Light-hearted Tonk Fah misplacing his pets? Nope, he was torturing them until they died. I had my suspicions about Vasher and the rest towards the end, but I didn't expect the twist with the statues, so that was cool, if not a little convenient. (hide spoiler)] Nightblood brought back memories of a particular sentient sword from Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark and his/its dialogue was always amusing and somewhat morbid. 
 Overall, I really liked the magic-system and the world-building of this one. I don't know when the sequel is coming, but I can't wait to read!
