As others have mentioned, there are parts where the book just draaaaaaggggggsssss on. However, the world, its characters and the plot make up for this by the end of the book. The scope of the book is large and I particularly like the fact that the author manages to work in different planes of conflict (though only in conversation). The book is a set up for an exceptional series and I can't wait to continue. One last note, the main character at times suffers from one of my main pet peeves (and this, unfortunately, is not limited to this author), that is the main character learns something (be it fighting/magic/etc) and then constantly forgets about that knowledge when it would be useful.
