Wow, I am once again speechless about how good this was. I can't believe I didn't read these books before, they are literal masterpieces. The worldbuilding, the themes, the writing-all just absolutely phenomenal. If there is one complaint I did have about this book though, it would be that I didn't care much about Lee Scoresby.
