i got this book from the library, so I had to read it fairly quickly--too bad, since something slow and heavy like this is better when you can really take your time with it, I think. not necessarily a "fun" read, but good and dark and ruthless. the worldbuilding is phenomenal. just don't expect a lighthearted fantasy where good things happen--this isn't that.
