I still like the plot and setting, but to me, this book dragged on a little more than necessary. I know everything that happened had to happen, but I think all that could've been said in less pages. Then again, maybe some like the elaborate descriptions of hunting and tool making. Granted, it is interesting. Even the romancey fluffy parts weren't bad. I think I will read the next book in the series, but I'll probably come back to it.
