An enjoyable read but it felt more like a prologue than an entire story. I liked the different stories from the pilgrims, some I liked more than others, but it offered a unique way of showing motive and giving background on the characters. With so long spent on learning about the characters and building up the story it would be a shame to not read the next instalment but I may hold off for a bit and see if it's worth it before putting more time into a series I'm not fully committed to.
