great plot, great characters, great worldbuilding. all i can say is that anyone who gives this novel less than 5 stars should be disregarded as they are unstable and unreliable. If you can give this novel 4 stars, you should show us a novel that deserves 5 stars. I'm not someone who belittles other people's opinions and criticisms, but I find it pathetic that some people are taking points off this novel just because they talk as if they know better.
