Sailing to Sarantium

This book is incredible, and the only negative I have is that it's not a complete story really. It does have more of a natural stopping point than I expected, but there's a lot of followup that can be done in Lord of Emperors. Everyone says LoE is much better and to that I say: I am not ready. This is probably my favorite of Kay's prose so far, but I liked Lions more for being a complete standalone. Regardless, this book was exactly what I was craving and if I wasn't in the middle of several other books, I would start Lord of Emperors this second.

9.5/10
