2024 update - 5 stars. Took me nine years but I'm so glad I did a reread. I absolutely *loved* this book and have already started the next. I see the intricacies now, I love the characters, and I'm so ready to be swept away by this amazing fantasy epic.

2015 - 3.5 stars. The ending brought it another half star. I loved some of the characters, and the world is intense, but I'm afraid I just found it way too long. A lot of what happened could have been said in fewer words.
