This book was unlike anything I had ever read before. It is dark, and beautiful, and power, and sad all at the same time. The world building of this Persian inspired fantasy is spectacular and the slow progression of the plot never left me bored only ever yearning for more. I can't WAIT for the sequel and look forward to more amazing things yet to come from this author.
