A really good book if you like Stephan King and can tolerate high fantasy that doesn't explain much right away. Well written and a fun read, but its the kind of book you love or hate.

I think the key to getting the most out of this book is to to pretend like you’re listening to a friend recount the dreams they had the night previous. That’s the level of abstract oddness you can expect, mixed in with a heady dose of action, classic King gore and flawed characters. In short, I LOVED it can’t wait to read the rest of the series. Though, I do hope the rest of the books are a bit less abstract. I’ll take weirdness any day of the week, but fleshed out weirdness please.
