A reread begins

This book is incredible. This could shape my future reading habits for life.

What a beautiful book this is

This is a huge book, but already I am so deeply invested

The heatwave in the UK sure has slowed down my enjoyment of reading. Damn.

This joins The Dragonbone Chair as one of my favourite series openers in fantasy.

Is this a highly original series? No. But I care deeply about everything and everyone, and their is a masterful control of all that is happening here that in no way betrays this as a debut.

John Gwynne...I needed a few false starts with this book, but I finally fell in love with Malice.

I would die for Storm. She is the goodest girl.

Another very strong book. Sad to say, I hate one of the main characters, but it is okay because I do not feel he was written to be anything other than an irritating artist who cannot commit to anything. Including his art.

But it would be nice to enjoy a character or two lol
