The White Tree

It was a nice story, different enough, but nothing really happened to make me feel it was great and I don't feel the need to read the next books.
The story dragged and I feel like I'd have enjoyed it more had it been about 1/3 smaller. And if the ending was some chapter or 2 before, I find I didn't need all the details of what happened after Samarand was killed and Cally made his claim. If it had stopped with Dante taking the first step of the journey back and all the rest was left for Book 2 I think it would have made me want to read it more.
