This was the most daunting book I have read in a long, long time and I am really proud of myself for pushing through and finishing this masterpiece of a trilogy.
The entire story is really expertly done, and my one big critique is that the final book could have been split into 2 or even 3 smaller books to make it less intimidating. Overall I highly recommend this series if you like high fantasy, want to read more books from the Middle East/North Africa, or like intricate, complex storylines.
