Grand fantasy at its finest. Lots of proper nouns and explanations that don’t make sense but really good and I’m looking forward to the series as a whole.

Why did I finish this book? It was recommend to me, but I found the structure irritating and the characters flat. And there were too many. I kept hoping they would die so I didn’t have to keep track of them all.
