I have to say I was a little bit disappointed. This entire series is heavy on long detailed descriptions of the environment and culture which I like but, this one went over the line - I felt like she sacrificed her characters and plot for sake of long repetative descriptions of landscape, location and culture.
The story line didn't seem to have a point and just wandered along. Some of the major story events were caused by what I considered actions that were not believable or were out of character for the people doing them.
I was also really looking forward to finding out what happened to the people left behind and was disappointed that it was skimmed over. She never addressed at all what happened to Alya's clan.
I did enjoy reading this book, but in general I thought it could have been done in either half as many pages or with much more development of what I think could have very interesting characters.
