I can imagine Attolia by the coast and picture the mountains running through this world that forge geographical, political and cultural boundaries. There is no map provided in these books (at least not in my editions) but the parts of the world that we have explored so far are completely imaginable to me. It's like the excitement of walking through a wardrobe into the strange land of Narnia and not knowing what's around every corner, but needing to find out. They don't say how this intricate fantasy world pulls you in with it's politics, it's culture and it's superstitions. and yep, this was amazing! I mean, what do you say that actually means anything? I could ramble on about fantastic writing, brilliant characters, excellent plot, this would all be true but the words are so empty and don't convey what I love about this series. It's weird how I find the most difficult books to review are those that I knew were going to be amazing.
