It wasn't a terrible book but it wasn't my favorite either. It took me over half of the book to get invested in the story, and even then it was a I-just-want-this-over-with investment rather than a it's-so-good-I-must-know investment. I didn't feel any sort of connection with the characters and I think that it may have something to do with the time jumps and third person narrative. Some of the setting descriptions were lengthy and overwhelming while the "Magic" was mostly left under described. I think my biggest con from the book are the questions that were left unanswered. I don't feel like I got very much closure. I'm sure that this was the authors intention, but it's frustrating as a reader who invested hours to come away with unknowns.
