Review of my reread

Coming back to this story was refreshing. After six years there were parts I completely forgotten and parts I remembered clear as day (what are the seven words you can say to have someone fall in love with you?). My mind is a bit of mush right now to really reflect on how wonderful the story is, but I'm glad I can finally continue it now into book two.

There is so much world to this book worth exploring and characters worth diving deeper into. This is a great work of fantasy, though I'm not too sure it's perfect for those just getting into the genre as it is a very denseboi. But for avid fantasy fans, I can't see a reason not to add this to your TBR pile (other than the lack of a third book).
