Not going to leave stars as I didn't finish this book. It really wasn't for me, I think. Though I do enjoy long, epic books in general.

I got about 250 pages in and we were still getting introduced to new characters and new POVs and it seemed like the story still hadn't gotten anywhere. I also was surprised at some of the sexual violence portrayed and would have appreciated a content warning.

I think the writing is very good, overall. There were some strangely modern words and dialogue and fight scenes in a setting like this, but it was only mildly jarring. But honestly, I had to stop reading because the book seemed to be going nowhere and I'd already put in so much time. Life is too short to keep reading books you're not enjoying.
