The framework of this book is a man telling the lost story of history around a campfire while the night stays away. Between this and the rich imagery, it feels like a bedtime story that gets told over the course of weeks a chapter at a time. If you don't like descriptions of plants or the world around characters, this should be a skip. However, I enjoyed how these descriptions made the place feel real. As a result of the indulgent imagery, the book lags at points. However, it quickly picks back up and gets into its adventurous tale. The sequel is not yet out, but I'll probably preorder it.
