I really wish I had looked further into this very interesting novel before I had started reading. I would have seen that it is the only one so far translated into English, which means I'll have to wait to read the next volumes and I hate that.

I don't read a lot of fantasy but I thought this was a refreshing and clever take on what genre books I have read. It does spend quite a bit of time leading up to it's ending and although I suppose that was necessary the final 50 pages of this novel are far more interesting than the first 350. Not that they this is a poorly written book, maybe just a little meandering. That said, the emotional availability of the characters is there and although I got a little impatient here and there for the most part this was a fun read and I look forward to getting the next volumes when they are available.
