One of the best, if not the best, fantasy books I have ever read. The first book sets the groundwork for all of the different plotlines to intertwine in the seconr book - and the author does it so gracefully while still staying true to the motivations and personalities of each character/group. Some BIG battles - and the way they're written is so immersive that I feel like I can hear axes crunching into flesh and the cries of warriors and monsters. Can't wait for the third book to come out!
