Not for everyone. If anyone below 16 wants to read it, consider that decision very well. This book is difficult in more ways than one.ecclesiastic_bohemian's review

I read this book last year after reading a review here. It was a fascinating and enjoyable read. It was a bit slow getting started, and I think that was more due to me personally than the book itself. I actually savored reading this book. The rich world the author created and described was a pleasure to visit although the trip was often harrowing and the subject matter at times uneasy and heart-rending. Stick with it especially if you're a fan of fantasy fiction with universal themes of politics, religion, power, slavery.
