I was so intimidated by this book that I let it sit unopened on my shelf for six months. When I finally gathered the courage to read it and got past the fifty page mark, I couldn't put it down. The plot is beautifully woven, the characters are flawed and human, the writing and language is enchanting, honestly, I cant wait to read it again.
