Best book I've read in a long time. Can't wait to read the others. The story has all the things that make fantasy glorious - the intrigues, the magic, the history, the creatures, the politics - and none of the things that usually bother me in the genre.

Gorgeous writing. Brilliant storytelling. Intriguing characters. Fascinating worldbuilding. Captivating plot.

Seriously, it is that good. Read it.
