Good read for what it is

3 stars

The pages just fly by when reading this book. The writing style is superb. It's clever, witty and well-paced. Just enough surprises in wording, comparisons and structure to make this a real page turner without getting exhausting. That said, I am just not a fantasy fan and probably never will be. The story didn't particularly grab me and while the world is clearly well thought out, I couldn't care less about in which part of what continent university x was located before it was moved by ruler z to its new location in city y. That's just me though.
