I enjoyed this high fantasy book. I was glad I listened to it or I wouldn't have been able to pronounce most of the names. The Ashgar religious parts are almost a fanfic of the Bible. The pacing was slow at the begi ning but there was a lot of world building to do, so I have high hopes for the rest of the series. I need a chart with all the people and their names to keep track!
