Like the others in this series, this book was SUCH a slow read.

However, I truly couldn't care less that it took me almost 6 months to read it because I enjoyed every single word on every single page. This man knows how to write! His prose is so enticing and evocative; and with each book he somehow manages to get better and better! This one especially had some true moments of horror that I thought were really impressive. 

I think this has got to be my favourite epic fantasy series of all time. Nothing can compare.
