If you liked Throne of Glass, you will like this! The main character is similarly designed, and we are introduced to the world using a similar fish-eye lens technique. Turner made the complicated high fantasy very digestible. Sometimes as the scenery is laid, the plot becomes a little slow, but it's all a means to an end. I found myself using the book's map very often. By the end, I really looked forward to cracking open the sequel. The characters are all very likable, even when they do unlikable things.
