Man, this was a awesome read!!! Addictive prose that pulls you right in; so visceral and dark; epic and unique in every way. Awesome geology-based magic system, intriguing story, you have no idea where it's going; in every chapter something unexpected and dramatic happens. I need a bit of a break before beginning book 2 but this trilogy is so far extremely bingeable!!
