The main character, Musalodi or Salo, is interesting to get to know but I would have liked more details about the rest of his traveling group. However, this book was really drawn out with so much detail for just over about 90% of the book. Then the remainder had so many things happen and felt rushed before ending like some summer blockbuster movie that has a sequel coming next summer. Not enough happened in the first 90% of this book to warrant needing a second when an editor could have chopped it in half to easily fit two books into a reasonable-length single book. With this book being such a slog to get through, I cannot imagine myself taking the time to read the second.
