Over 1200 pages of fantasy

4 stars

This was a thick pocket book. Over 1250 pages of fantasy and adventure with a fair bit of violence, deception, magic and conflict. This book, or was it series of books has been compared to those by Tolkien although I would not go that far.

I found the story a bit confusing as it consists of many different threads, that only at the end of the book starts to come together.

I would recommend the book to anyone who is not intimidated by its thickness and weight, and likes good fantasy world building.
