With only eight reviews, I was a little hesitant about buying this book.  I am so glad I did because it is one of those memorable epic fantasy adventures.  I waded through so many urban fantasy and YA paranormal that this was a treat.  As I am reading it, it reminded me a little of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn.  Perhaps it is the politics of Far'an Senjin played by the nobles, the oppression of the Smear and the melding of souls.  Terry Simpson went into enough details on the cycles of souls to make the magic system believable.  Looking forward to the next book.
