I may just be high off the fumes of reading this but I think this may be my favourite fantasy novel now. JUST shy of a 5 star review. Had some issues with characterization in a few places, and though I understand that the meandering, meticulous pace had intent (and was certainly done a lot better than in all the other fantasy novels that attempt to do that), there were a couple hiccups. But the issues are relatively minor as I'd say this is a must-read fantasy novel. Better than LotR, ASoIaF, Dune, and Narnia by a country mile.
