Good story with interesting ideas. Main shortcoming is that it takes A LONG time for it to get going - if you can make it past the first 800 pages, the remaining 3 or 400 are rather enjoyable. The writing style is kind of choppy at times and the overuse of italics / emphases is kind of annoying. Not much in the way of character development either. The characters are fairly one dimensional and by the half-way point you can more or less predict how each character will respond to major events. All in all, I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the next book. I pretty much love everything this guy does, even if the description sounds ridiculous. I stopped reading this one at first because real life got in the way and the opening scenes were off-puttingly violent and cryptic. Luckily for me, I picked it back up. How does this guy do it? He publishes like a mad man, but none of his books feel rushed or sloppy, and though there are some fundamental similarities between his worlds, nothing feels stale or repetitive.
What do You think about Kralların Yolu (2014)?
I liked this story a lot, the spren and their relationships to magical works is very engaging.
