Page-turner

Well written, funny sometimes, like someone telling a story at a fireplace. Felt cozy to me.

Contains a few not-so-constructive patterns (like "I need to make my heart of stone to control emotions"), but for me it was Ok, definitely better than in "Consider Phlebas".

Harry Potter for adults?

I don't usually read much fantasy, but I enjoyed this. The analog to Harry Potter comes from the first book focusing on the main character studies in magic.
