Loved this. Beautifully written, there were passages that I re-read multiple times because they were just so well-composed.

Also laughed out loud for real at the fencing response bit.

General, for whatever it's worth I recommended this book to a friend who also writes some books and he just posted to his FB:


quote:

The finest fantasy novel of intrigue I've ever read, with no close second. Not only a worthy epic of discovery, politics, and conquest, but a penetrating look at identity and power. Possibly worthy of being taught in the same classes that teach Chopin's THE AWAKENING or Ellison's INVISIBLE MAN. And, above all else, deeply emotionally investing.

If you've ever believed any judgment I've made on a work of culture in the English language, believe me: this is a powerful book.
