Leading up to the end I thought I might be rating this a 4.5 - ambitious, but not quite executing up to the incredible standards of the previous books. But the ending turned that all around.

Actually 4.5 out of 5.

Really a 4.5 out of 5 but Goodreads won't let you do that. Almost perfect. What an epic!

Actually 4.5 stars. So good.

Incredible.

What a novel. Amazing writing, with a story that is so finely crafted that I'm jealous of the author. Highly recommended.

Really 4.5 out of 5. So, so good.

4.5 actually...

4.5 of 5 stars. Wow, what a different experience than the movie! Glad I read the book after, which is odd for me (usually I read the book first). So glad to have two more books to read in this world.
