This book jumps around a lot but once you start following all the players, it is a very good story. I will continue to follow this series.

In an age when fantasy writers start ambitious series and trail off into silence (I'm looking at George R.R. Martin here), Greg Keyes should be commended for his ability to execute fantasy series that have wonderful scope and actually come to a conclusion. If you like the Song of Fire and Ice series and you are sick of waiting for it to end, try out an author that knows where he's going. Keyes' world is complex and interesting, and the fantasy here is down and dirty, all the blood and sex and nasty magic you could want. Check it out.
