I got this book about 2 weeks ago from amazon (had to get it new). While I expected it to be great, it was even better than I remembered. The only warning I have, is that nearly every chapter is left with a cliffhanger, and the chapters always rotate between two different groups for the first 3/4 of the book. By the end of each chapter, you don't want to switch groups, but then you get enthralled with the other group and want to know what happens to them at the end of the NEXT chapter. I suspect that some of you people would read this book in about 2 days, tops. It is better than any David Eddings/R.A.Salvatore/Robert Jordan/Weisman books I have read. It is a stand alone book, but I strongly advise picking this up.

Any of you Anderson people can just ask me, and I'll let you borrow it.

Crossroads of Twilight aside, you defame Robert Jordan by putting him in that company.

I am used to the rotating POV from George R.R. Martin's books. If you are comparing this book to his, then I weill definitely have to pick it up. Thanks, Coop.
