This is a book to dip in and out of… but not always easy to put down. It is easy to get lost in the names (especially when they crop up more than one saga) if you are reading it in stints.

It is/ was my gateway to a world with a very different outlook - replete with unpleasant characters you cannot wait to fail… but they do not always fail.
