The worldbuilding is so good, and I love that it doesn't get over-explained. Enjoyable little bit of humor.
Great characters, especially Csorwe and Tal's struggle against the magnetism of Sethennai. Oranna was the only one who seemed to have her motives kind of all over the place by the end, but maybe it'll still be explained.
I wish it had delivered more on its promises, though. Both with the Unspoken Name and the many different conflicts of the last 1/4 that ended up falling kind of flat at the very end.
I was expecting some twist or reveal aside from what had been foreshadowed, but nah, it was just so.
