Adored the prose, I thought it flowed really beautifully.
LOTS of interesting ideas that I feel were under explored, but also a lot of ideas I feel could have been explored less. As I was reading I remember hitting the last third of the book and thinking "Oh so HERE it picks up", but could not convince myself that the prior 600 pages were necessary to get there.
Hoping to read more fantasy of the era for comparison purposes explicitly because of this book. I've definately enjoyed thinking about it more than reading it.
