I think the best way to describe this book is as a grandiose vibe. The prose is amazing, if not a little inaccessible due to vocabulary, but it is nothing a quick google search can’t fix. The plot takes a bit to get started but even before it really began in full, I was sucked in from the writing and sheer world (or place) building.
