I really liked this book.
It's a typical fantasy, with magic, persons with all sorts of power and mysterious events. But that's exactly why I like this genre.
Nevertheless were there also "new" things, for example the writer created a new time-system (which was really confusing in the beginning, especially because I didn't find out about the wordlist until it was almost to late). It is really well written and it read very easy and fluent.
The storyline is very intriguing and mysterious.
I'm looking forward to the next books.
