Nice review...Although he mistakenly states that Nil'Giccas is the current king of Ishterebinth when it is actually Nin'ciljiras.

Lol - I'm very happy that I seem to have a spoiler-metric far removed from other people.

I would have lead the mob to lynch myself if I'd revealed even a tenth of what all these reviews and reviewers have.

Otherwise, great review. It seems to be the tagline. If you like Bakker already, you'll love this. If you don't, you won't.

Normally I would say it's too spoilery but I personally don't care.

All the reviews so far have been incredibly positive, it has to be said.

I am completely unsurprised by this though. We are now getting to the real meat of the story and Bakker is clearly in his element, finally allowed to reveal and let loose.
