Even though Birnam Wood was densely packed with substance, my time reading it seemed to fly right by. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey on this one. The falling action was a little hasty, and its resolution could have been expanded on a bit, but I was still satisfied with the ending. This will be one I talk about and recommend to friends. I've added The Luminaries to my TBR as well.
