This was a very interesting fantasy novel; after having been used to Weiss/Hickman when it comes to 80s fantasy, this was quite different. Very, VERY densely full of description...sometimes to a distracting degree, which was annoying. This book too me *much* longer to read than I had anticipated - I was expecting a light fantasy novel for the summer. But it was far from that. Still, however, enjoyable in its uniqueness - the characters & storyline & races were all something to get used to, and I ended up liking most. I just feel like perhaps I would have benefited from having read the other books in the series (I had no idea this was the third in a series when my friend recommended it to me, years ago), but I don't really have any interest in doing so. I'm glad I finally read this book, but I don't think I'd read any others by this author, as well-written as I thought The Cage was.
