This book was hecka long, but hecka worth it. She's such a clever writer, extremely witty but also somehow serious. And the end was (perhaps unintentionally) filled with a lot of really cool Gospel imagery. The world is almost Tolkien-esque in the amount of background she put into it--you got the sense that you were only reading a very small portion of a very large story. And it was thoroughly unpredictable, which is exciting for me because I have a knack for predicting where story-lines are going.

I read this absolute tomb about every 2 or three years. Not one to read if you're packing light, though.

Susanna, when I catch you Susanna…
1,000 pages of two gentleman wizards discovering they’ve been married the whole time. Slow to build-up, but honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read. Fantastic characters, amazing worldbuilding, and gorgeous writing. The classical novel style lulls you into a false sense of security only for the rug to be pulled out from under you with no warning. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. You will have to pry this book from my cold, dead hands.

Loved this book and glad I've read it. However it did take me about 4 attempts. Just so big. An amazing deep, rich world filled with interesting characters.
