Early impressions

NO SPOILERS

Have about 100 pages left to go in GoTM and oh my lord this is phenomenal. Thought it was a slow but enjoyable first half of the book. But around the latter half of The Mission, and especially the entirety of Assassins, this has been a blitzkrieg paced reading. This world is fantastic.

I see people constantly rank this towards the bottom and say that it really picks up after this book, if it’s as good as it is now, I can’t even imagine what lies in store throughout the series, I can not wait.
