It's one of those books that leaves you smiling when you close it at the end. And the only book that roots its forest of magic inside you. The setting, from the moment you open the book, sits right under your eyes. The characters might lack depth sometimes. But it's the flaws and human nature I prefer. The plot is well-developed and hooks you right in tracks. Sometimes you might leap at once an wonder, 'how did I not guess that?'. Overall it's was a long, worthy journey for me.
