Apparently there are 13 races of human in this story and a spider goddess and a guy can massacre an entire city and shrug it off. Most of the story is told from a few viewpoints, Marcus - who wants out of a city that's about to fall; Citrin - smuggling a fortune out of said city by pretending to be a boy and Geder who would much rather be a scholar, Dawson is an aristocratic politician with anger issues who regards a lot of people as nuisances to be eliminated and Clara is his politically astute wife. And by the end I didn't really care and I was wondering why I was continuing to read when honestly I had no intention of continuing the series.
It's probably a "if you liked GRRM you'll like this one" read and while it's not bad I just didn't care enough to continue the series.

I truly cannot say enough good things about this series. The worldbuilding is excellent, the dialogue and story put together perfectly.

The characterization is relatable, funny and intelligent. I am off to more books by Mr Abraham. I've already read his excellent Long Price Quartet and know there has to be other stuff out there.

The audiobook is highly recommended--the narrator really knows his stuff.

EDIT 7/10/14 - Just as good the 2nd time around.

I am currently on Book 3 in this series and want it to end simply so I know the ending to the story. There are a few things that bother me about various characters (Cithrin and the drinking), but overall, this is a great installment in my Epic Fantasy library.

I had thought that there was no magic (or very little) to the story as a whole, but as of Book 2, I anticipate some very nasty things in Book 3/4.

I do anticipate that I'll be rereading the series again sometime after it's conclusion--whether in the next book or beyond. That in itself is my stamp of approval and recommendation to other readers.

I purchased the entire series as a Kindle book with the $4 Whispersync audiobook addons, but the narrator is so good that I've almost exclusively stuck to the audiobooks.

Well done [a:Daniel Abraham|134|Daniel Abraham|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1207149629p2/134.jpg]!
