I finally finished it!!!!!! After a grueling three days. This was one of the books that I have been constantly eyeing on my TBR list but didn't come around to reading and ermm I'm not into it so much. I totally thought this was another thing and so I was about a bit confused while reading it...aaaand well. Typically, I like reading historical fiction but this, uhm, this just didn't take the cake for me. I feel so bad because the writing is really impeccable and all that but it just felt so lulling and dragging...Needless to say, I didn't really enjoy reading it too much and I probably won't be reading the next books of the trilogy. This just wasn't for me--some instances just irritated or disturbed me. And I particularly didn't like the feeling that I had no inclination as to where the story is going. Again, I am aware that some people would like this, and I do get it if you do, but this just wasn't for me. Sorry. :/ 
 My review is around here.
