This man knows how to build a well-thought-out world. Even though I felt like I got lost in the sheer breadth of the story being told in the beginning.

Loved this book. I've been looking to a new fantasy world that I enjoy as much as some of my favorites (Cosmere, Malazan, Lightbringer, Night Angel), and I think my search is over (at least for now). Not a good starting point to new fantasy readers, but for people already comfortable with the genre and more complex world building, it's great. What I mean is, you have a lot of new information given to you (city names, groups, historical figures), but you aren't held by the hand and bombarded with exposition on those topics. They are just breadcrumbs to pick up and remember while the world is built around you, and then recall later when they naturally become relevant.
The main characters were enjoyable to get to know, and some of them have great story arcs. I particularly like some of the twists that (to me at least) were unexpected.
All in all, a wonderful epic fantasy, and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series!
