Wow. I don't even know what to say about this novel that won't spoil the experience for anyone thinking of reading it, but I really enjoyed this. The descriptions of the world are fascinating, the main character is charming and his ways of thinking are described in a way that makes them make sense, and the plot took plenty of turns.

 What a fantastic read. I could nitpick the parts I didn't like, but they're far and few between and I really don't want to. I enjoyed the book immensely, and would suggest not reading too much about the story if you're in any way interested in reading it: just pick the book up, you won't regret it!!
