— My New Favorite Book. Ok, that’s saying a lot, but this book is just that good. The author doesn’t just spit out a story here – he’s crafted every line and word – there’s a rhythm to the way it reads; both the exposition and the dialog. It draws you in; providing a more immersive experience than you’d expect in fantasy fiction. The depth of the world, and the complexity of the characters, and an underlying ambiguity as to who’s really the hero and who’s really the villain make this story a true standout. I liked it so much, I actually read it twice – and found that on the second read I picked up all sorts of subtleties and nuances that I’d missed on the first go round.
