Really, 4.75. there were places where I begged a character to say something rather than isolate their thoughts and feelings. I love all of the characters dearly, but I do hope there's a little more gradation in their arcs in the following books rather than a longer intro, a little development, and a conclusion that puts them closer together than I expected, personally. Overall, an incredibly darling book. I'm excited to read the rest of the quartet.
Oh, P.S.: I didn't feel like this book had enough Sandry in it to be called her book! I'm hoping it's a symptom of being the first book and we have more of her later. I just love them all so much.
