Did you enjoy the Sunne in Splendour? I have it on my TBR list and wonder if I should move it up...

I thought it was good, but I found it really hard to get through. It had passages where I was hanging on to every word, and passages where I couldn't get myself to read another word. It has a really high average rating and I think that might be because people that didn't like it never managed to finish it.

It was really similar to the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin.
