Now this is an epic fantasy. There is a lot of world building so be prepared. Lots to remember and understand about the magic system, but I would say he does have way to write air-tight world building. I there were no holes and it was very a concrete magic system. Once I started to understand the magic, I needed to know what happens. There is a lot of different storylines to this book but if you like politics, rebellion, a kick ass female main character you can’t lose with this book. I would say I want to continue the trilogy since there are still unanswered questions!
