Once again, the political intrigue here flies thick and fast and the novel reads very much like George.R.R.Martin's Game Of Thrones series it is so complex. The advantage here though of course is that with this epic, an end is plainly in sight and fans of this variety of fantasy will be gratified that an ending is very shortly forthcoming with the next volume rather than waiting to see what comes first- the conclusion of the series or the author's death before completion.
