Days of Blood & Starlight

After finishing this book, my heart is shattered. And I need to read the end of the third one to know whether it's going to be good or bad.
I found the first part very slow, the plot didn't take off. I took the book and put it on the shelf so many times. But in the second part the plot moved and characters with it. Nevertheless, it involved me and it was like it had cast a spell on me.
What I liked the most about this book is: the world-building, the narrative style and the main characters, that are well defined. I felt empathy with them.
What I dislike is the slowness in some parts and the feeling of standstill. Nothing relevant happened. But I'm happy I was able to move on and get caught from this story..even if my heart is broken and I need a HEA.
