Fantastic world-building, and well-done; all is revealed not through pages of exposition but as it becomes relevant to the story. Rich in cultural and linguistic aspects.
This is the kind of book that I immediately want to go back and re-read from the start to catch everything that laid the groundwork for later events. (Admittedly, this is partly because my reading of it was unfortunately stretched out over months, so my memory...) I'll also be buying the sequels right away.
Highly recommend. I even told my best friend (before I was even halfway through the book!) that I was going to loan it to her as soon as I was done.
