Why I chose this book:
Okay, this was a bit of a sneaky add from me. This book has been sitting unloved on my shelf since 2015, so when I saw it on the 101 list for 2017, adding it to my challenge seemed like a good way to force myself to read it.

Thoughts:
I'm actually mad at myself for taking so long to read this! It was so amazing! It's got everything an epic fantasy story should have, and you can bet I raced out to grab the sequel straight away.

Verdict: Was it worthy?
ABSOLUTELY. I'm actually really disappointed with the voting population that this only made it onto ONE 101 list. It's an epic story, well-written with fantastic world-building, an interesting magic system and great, lovable characters. It's bound to endure as one of the better fantasies of the genre. More people need to vote for this one in future!
