I love the cryptic worldbuilding even though it made the book a bit less accessible at first. I read the first four chapters and then took a several month hiatus before getting absolutely sucked in when I picked it up again. I finished the rest in a week!

The climax was bit messy? It felt like new threats kept getting piled on to serve each new character revelation when focusing on a single prolonged battle with

the Jaghut Tyrant

would have been more cinematic and narratively satisfying.

Kruppe is a treasure.
