Wow.... Just wow....

I never knew that I wanted to read a mafiaesque fantasy novel, and now I don't think I'll be able to read another one. This had so many characters, so much political intrigue, and just a beautiful magic system built into it. Shae and Wen are easily my favorite characters, but I honestly loved all of them. Plus it's so rare that a novel surprises me, but I found myself being consistently surprised by the plot twists and developments here.

JUST WOW!!!
