This... this was fantastic. I tried to read this a long time ago, but I got stuck somewhere in the middle and never finished. This time I got a group of friends to buddy read it with me, and I was able to get it all finished and wow. The plot threads were fabulous, and everyone was so flawed and intricately woven together. Before I read this book, I thought it wasn't possible to fill this many pages with a plot that was actually good. Now I understand, and I think I'll reread it in the future and enjoy the adventure again.
