re-read: it is good, but not as good as some of the latter books. it feels a bit rough. the it a bit too much random world building exposition worked in.

There are so many descriptions. 
All sex scenes but one are laden with violence, force or power struggles. This is not a book you want for satisfacting spicy scenes.
