 At first, I was slowly reading this because it's epic fantasy and there were so many names and places to absorb, then slowly the story wove together and it was amazing. Brent Weeks is a master at writing intricate plots and the last 150 pages were the most jaw-dropping, plot twisty, thing I've ever read. Trust me when I say it's worth it, 100% worth it, just give it time to get where it's going.
