Interesting characters, a rich backstory, and pages and pages of detailed description are a recipe for success in this first novel of a 14-book epic fantasy series. The magic is interesting and the lore is deep and well-grounded in how the world now feels and behaves. You can sense a lot of actions happening "off-screen," which I love about a good fantasy book. I always want to have a sense that the protagonists exist in a fluid, ever-changing world. While I do not intend to bang through all 14 novels in the series, I am sure I will get through it in time.
