I couldn't find a topic about this book and I think there should be one.
So, have you read it? What's your opinion about the world, the characters, the style of writing?
That's one of the more stunning books I've read. I'm not sure what exactly makes it unique - the style, the whole atmosphere of the book, the unusual concept of magic or the absence of a "good" and a "bad" character. It has definitely been written with imagination that's quite rare these days. I would absolutely recommend it since there is a very slight chance that you won't enjoy it from the first to the last page.
