Erikson keeps weaving a more complex tale that I've just come to love. The cast of characters is wonderful and despite the book's hard/open endings, I'm here ready to queue up for the next read! The magic is powerful, but none of it feels out of place and Erikson's penchant for consequences continues to satisfy each plot pivot.
