This one took a while, but ~1400 pages take a while, especially if you need to look up some of the past books information to remember the details. The epic saga continues and while a lot is explained, even more questions remain open.
Let's see where books 6-10 will leave us in the end. The good thing with Sanderson is that I absolutely believe he will finish the work.

After the Wizard oft Earthsea, this second book felt a bit slow. Since it is confined to one particular place in Earthsea, that might have added to the feeling. It is still a good book and I liked reading it, if only for the change of perspective.
This was a nice, almost Tolkienesque read. I love the fact that Le Guin deliberately made the main characters non-white, because she despised the good=white, black=evil trope.
Looking forward to the next books from the cycle.
