Not sure why I picked this one up — it’s a sorta typical epic fantasy book (although for about the first 850 of the 900 pages, you can argue there’s very little that’s fantastical about it) — but enjoyed reading it. It’s a good, page-turner of an epic — lots of characters (was pretty hard to keep straight for the first 200-300 pages), good action, neat ideas. There are 3 more (large) books in the series, and I guess another one coming out next month — I liked it well enough that I’ll get to all of them, I think.
