What a book. I don't even know what else to say. Definitely one of the best high fantasy books I've read, if not *the* best.
The world building, the characters, the writing, all spectacular. There's quite some naiveté to it all, which I thought I would mind, but I did not, actually. It's satisfying to see the characters and the plot not to feel like they need to be down to Earth. I enjoyed it very much.
I think I'm gonna go and pre-order the next book in the series now.
