this is probably one of the best books i've read, a solid 8.5 for anyone interested in horror, it reads like a video game and is insanely compelling!! i loved this book so much and recommended it to everyone i know.

Awesome old book. Happy to find a copy of it. I don't do kindle so hard copy was only option. This was best price around. I highly recommend this author's fantasy work.

This book was wonderful the first time and better the second. The prose is so lyrical it is addictive. Buehlman is an incredibly effective painter with words, and does not use this talent to get away with plot weakness in any way. The characters are rich, believable, and complex. The historical underpinnings to the story are thoroughly researched and authentic. And the plot...there is no slow start to this book. It grabs the reader's interest immediately, and effectively builds suspense while spinning beautiful, detailed character vignettes along the way. I cannot wait to read it a third time and see what details I uncover. Also, I found the ending to be PERFECT. So satisfying, yet not trite or glib. Seriously, read this absolutely fantastic book. It elevates the horror genre to something much more sublime.

As described, excited to start reading it
