This has to be one of my favourite books, with two copies in my collection.
The story seems full and vast, the characters are beautifully raw and vivid, Pug is an interesting character, and i enjoyed his character development.
I definitely need to reread this one.

"the fault we see in others never seem as dreadful as those we see in ourselves!"

This book took me so long to read (almost a month) based on the fact I kept feeling overwhelmed by everything that was going on, so I would put the book down for several days and then try again. This method really helped me as I was then able to absorb and understand exactly what I had just read before moving on. Don't get me wrong, this book was A LOT and I'm still not convinced I understand everything fully. But I understood enough that I know I loved this book and I cannot wait to move on to the next one. The world and magic system was so complex and wonderful, and the characters are definitely up there with some of my favourites that I have ever discovered.

Coming in at 841 pages, this is hella intimidating especially for people like me who havent necessarily read adult fantasy much before. However, it is so worth persevering with it as once you push past this feeling you are likely to enjoy this wonderful world and the wonderful characters.

An epic fantasy saga from my childhood. Thoroughly enjoyed this re-read.
