Fantastic read. I`m an instant fan after reading this book. There are so many twists and turns, and emotional ups and downs, that I was a wreck by the time I reached the last page. But couldnt wait to pick up the next one. This is, as described by the main character, a tragic story. But unlike so many other books, it is not filled with page after page of misery. There are genuine moments of happiness and joy, but equally, there are heartbreaking moments, and through it all, I felt absolutely invested in the characters I was introduced to. Its mostly written from the perspective of the main character recounting his life to a scribe, so you will find yourself often wondering what is real, and what is tainted by the perspective of the person recounting his life....
