The story is like an approaching storm . Convoluted and roiling. Increasingly complicated and building. Well written. Great characters.

Read this book. It attached to your soul. Mark Twain provided the road map. Percival provided a modern masterpiece.

Into the darkness. Deep, complicated characters. Magic understated. Love. Death. Hate. Hate. Hate. Revenge. Dark fantasy at its best. Pleasing romance. All blanketed by the dark, whose story unravels slowly and incompletely. I can't wait to begin the next book.
