Story
The Hayholt is in flames. Once the home of the immortal Sithi, now capital of the kingdom of men, the fabled castle has been set ablaze by vengeful Norns. And as the world is distracted by this devastating attack against humankind, the Norns' deathless witch-queen Utuk'ku reaches out to seize the fateful, ogre-haunted valley called Tanakirú—the Vale of Mists. Fooled by the Norn Queen’s trickery, Simon and the Sitha Jiriki must now leave the burning castle behind to race to the forbidden valley.

Hike of the Ages
I have never read any of the books before this one.
So I found this books world to be unbelievably detailed. It blew my mind. I was asking myself if there were books before this one and he just kept them to himself. There are earlier books I later found out.
That being said, I didn't need them to understand what was going on and to catch up. I find that fairly impressive writing. This author was in no hurry at all though. Hes doing his thing, writing the story. People are having conversations. Its like watching peoples lives without skipping any time, but knowing a volcano is going to erupt soon and just getting to know the people who are about to be engulfed. Nothing really happens. I feel like stuff is going to happen next book. Where I got the most enjoyment out of this book is hearing the characters thoughts. Some can sense the volcano, some not so much. Its a subtle version of suspense and I enjoy what the author tries to make legitimate thoughts and reactions to things. This book is a hike of a book, but I think all the more satisfying for that.

boring as figs
I got about three quarters of the way through the book, where the climax usually is, and couldn't even discern any rising action.
I read another reviewer who described this book as "an unapologetic, 700 page prologue". I think that about nails it. It's all set-up for the rest of the series. I found it to be a slog, but how good it is ultimately depends on if the rest of the story is worth it.
