A relaxing and enjoyable experience, especially as an audiobook. A wonderful escape into an accessible fantasy world. It does get quite dark at times, and the racism/eugenics endemic in the society of the book was upsetting. I wish this was commented on more, but the heroes' battle against the evil empire took precedence! And it was an epic battle!
