Fantasy has had a few misses for me lately. This was so good. It starts slow, because the direction is a little unclear. But then, the direction becomes unclear at the halfway point and thats when it just blows you out of the water. It was way too good. Very plot focused, the author was really good at telling instead of showing in a fascinating way. I had reservations about how he wrote women (still do), but he makes up for a lot of it after the halfway point. VERY excited to see where this will go, because it could go anywhere.
