If you like your epic fantasies dark and gritty and above all realistic, this book is for you. Be warned, there's lots of savergery, violence and sex, but that's part of the realism. Don't look for any knights in shining armor here. There are no simply good and evil characters, each one is very human. You'll find yourself rooting for each of the main characters even as they plot against each other.

700+ pages seem like a lot, but there is a lot of content there, and it makes a satisfying read. The plot is complex without getting too convoluted. My only complaint was it was difficult to keep track of the myriad of minor characters, especially since many of them are related and share the same names. An appendix at the end helps somewhat.
