This is a dense, long, humorless story that spans several decades. It's well constructed but not very fun.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
So boring. Dialog was like small talk. Characters were farcical but treated seriously.

I don't know what the appeal of this book is after having such a strong following. The action moved fast but I still wasn't sure of anyone's motivations. Characters are disposed of without much dedication. There's an odd mix of magic and old west.
