More than once during the first 300 or so pages of this 700 page book, I thought, "This really isn't grabbing me. Maybe I should move on to something else." By the time I was nearing the end, however, my thoughts ran more along the lines of: "Oh no. I'm almost to the end. No! I want more!" And so on.

And as soon as I had read the final page, I immediately bought the next book in the series. (Reading on the iPhone Kindle app, so the impulse buy was dead easy.)

Well-written, well-constructed epic fantasy. Recommended.
