This was a very good book. I was reading the first book as this one was being published and went straight into reading this book. I went from years of not reading to reading 2000 pages in relatively short order (couple of weeks) and came away very satisfied. It might have been wise for me to pace myself a little more though.

Don't read this book until you read the first book. Then you won't really need me to tell you whether or not you should read this book.
