It's very sweeping and intricate but the writer also knows how to make things very personal. It's reallhy well done. However, the story is so big that even though I do relate to the characters, I still have to think about who's who at times.

It's interesting that things got almost a bit religious, with a prophecy and a dragon death cult.

That might be my failing, but since it's so big and sweeping, I feel like it'll take a little time before I'm ready for another book in this series.
