I absolutely loved this book, way more than I expected to. My biggest complaint is there are some plot things that are handled more as "overview" than as detailed narrative, and I wish they'd been more detailed so there'd be another half-million words of this book.

I've read this entire book before, in fantranslation, and I'm very pleased with the official version! Still, I can't wait for the later volumes, when things start to go right for a chance...
