Slow moving but interesting story

4 stars

Pretty interesting wrap up but some parts felt like unnecessary filling material. Large portions are spent on presenting geography and listing various religious and cultural groups. This is somewhat necessary to get an idea of the scale of events but it's done in a dull and repetitive way. That said, the main story was interesting and well worth reading, although I can't help thinking that it could have been condensed to about half as long without losing anything important.
