If you ever read the series, do yourself a favor and listen to performances of the Songs and Poems as you encounter them in the text. It is a very different experience and you learn a lot about the history of this world when you read the poems. I found it is more enjoyable than simply reading the poems and you don't want to miss out on the lore that the songs provide!

One of the best Fantasy books I've ever read

I liked the book but there's only like 3 things that happened

Stephen King once again proves that he is a master at writing characters people.

Rereading in preparation to Wind and Truth, it's incredible the amount of foreshadowing and hints given for future events in the series. I'm sure some of the biggest mysteries, not only for next book but even for the next 5 have already been hinted at in this first book.
