Hot damn! If it weren't for having Game of Thrones to watch tonight, I'd be deep into the second installment of this trilogy, without a moments pause to even write this review. 
 I haven't been this excited about a book, let alone one in a series, in quite some time. I am so excited! After quite a lull in reading, a book here, a book there, I feel this might be just the trilogy to bring me fully back to such fantastic places and temporarily away from a mind of mine that could use just that. 
 I first heard of this book from a YouTuber's husband who loved it. Granted, with technology at our fingertips, everyone now feels the need to voice their opinion. I didn't know this guy from Adam, but I did know one thing. He was a devout lover of all things Patrick Rothfuss and Brandon Sanderson. That, my friends, is a reader akin to my own taste. So I had to give this trilogy a shot, given all he had to say about it and damn it to hell am I glad I did. Even having then looked at the reviews, and not having seen such highly consistent reviews of a trilogy on Goodreads in a while, I'm now not at all surprised by the praise it's gotten. 
 It was quick, smoothly paced and clever. Characters I would love to know and hate, I could be a fly on the wall of this story time and again. 
 Damn, what am I doing writing this? I ought to get to watching GoT so I can dive into book two and stay up sleepless hours before a new week of work. Fuck ya, I'm in!
