Simply incredible. Mesmerizing storytelling. This book stole its way into my top ten books of all time.
I laughed so much. I cried a couple times. I laughed so hard I cried a couple times. I loved every second.
If you like the gritty, wildly lifelike, morally grey characters of The Blade Itself, this book is for you.
If you like the unscrupulously incorrigible devilry of The Lies of Locke Lamora, this book is for you.
If you liked the mystery as well as a wonderfully built out magical world that organically unfolds as the story progresses of The Black Company, this book is for you.
If you like the banter and camaraderie of The Riyria Revelations, this book is for you.
Treat yourself.
This author is now an instant-buy author for me. No hesitation.
