I'm pleased I finally had an opportunity to read this book, revenge cruelty and mercy. Have to say I did think some of his actions were questionable.  it is quite the tome and it took me a long time, there were times it dragged and there were times it just zipped past! The pacing of it did remind me of fan fiction, the way certain chapters would finish in a wee bit of a cliffhanger so you just had to immediately read the next chapter to find out what was happening.
