OH BOYYYYY - I haven't got the words for this, how does one person's brain come up with this. This book has been sitting on my shelf ever since I read Strange 18 months ago and always kept putting it off because the sheer size of it terrified me (it still does) but I just can't fathom how incredible this duology is I just wanted to savour every last word. WHAT A MASTERPIECE

Well, according to the acknowledgement at the end of the book, there was originally one enormous book which was broken up into The Assassin's Curse and The Pirate's Wish. I think they should have been published as one volume, but I obviously don't work in the industry. I definitely recommend that you have both books on hand before starting th duology, though.

I'm quite pleased with how the plot threads were brought together, and the main character certainly developed well. The book passes the Bechdel test with flying colors, too.

I love love love this book. If you haven't read anything else in this universe, you'll be just fine. I've read all the previous books, and plan to go back and re-read them as soon as this bit (duology? triloy? I don't know West's plans) is done.

The only thing that kept it from five stars was the repetitive nature of some characters' internal dialogues. I got the point right away, but I suppose some readers might need more. I don't know that anyone needs to be hit over the head with Rath, Jewel, and Duster's issues, though.

In any case, while huge, the book is well worth reading, and I am eager to read whatever comes next.
