The author has an excellent writing and storytelling style.  The narrative progression was sometimes unclear to me, as it merged a little confusing at certain points.  The conclusion was very well written, but quite open-ended.  Overall I enjoyed the book and it was a good read.

Possibly the best introduction to a family saga I've ever read.  I was amazed at how easy it was to keep up with all of the characters and this is a testament to how well written they were. The time and place just leapt from the page and I was truly immersed and hooked. I am filled with both excitement and dread to see what happens to the characters in the following books.
