I got this as part of Tor.com's free ebook program, and I'm grateful to the publisher for the chance to read it.
This was a real roller coaster of not understanding a single thing going on in this book and then inch by inch by inch getting a minute understanding of the plot and world. I did finally, by the very end, feel like I understood this book but the learning curve was so difficult to get through that if I didn't have a Personal Problem where I have to finish all books I start (yknow for my Total Read count) I absolutely would have given up on it.
It's not offensive, and once we got really going and things started to come together it was tolerable! It's not the worst high fantasy out there, and if you like that kind of thing you might enjoy this more than I did! As it is, it was. Fine but I probably won't continue to read the series.
