I’m not exaggerating when I say this book is something unexpected and wonderful. The MBotF series was mind blowing. This new series lifts the older one up, not to surpass it but to continue the story of the world. Plenty of times I found myself in awe of the dialogue and character development, so much so that I would reread chapters just to dig into the words and try to find some hidden threads. I’m looking forward to the next book and will probably reread this one a few times more. Two thumbs up for this series so far!

If you invest attention in Erikson’s writing, the returns are awesome. Another gem.
