This, the first book in the series, lets the reader know just how complex the world created is. Lots of half storylines, intriguing questions, characters that come and go. The series, to me, has been the most satisfying and interesting fantasy I have ever read--I am sure none will measure up. Still, I would recommend reading with a friend because of the questions that arise. I read the series with my son and some friends of his which led to hours of great conversation. Erikson has no compunction about killing off main characters, so be prepared for some you love to perish. This first book is not the best in the series--and all the stories don't come together until well into the books--but it is very good. I am reading it for the second time and much has become clearer.
