After reading so many fantasy books in an afternoon or an evening it was delightful to land on a fantasy book that I had to work at a bit. I was also pleased to find a trilogy that didn't go like this: Book 1: blah blah blah PAUSE; Book 2: RESUME blah blah PAUSE; Book 3: RESUME FINAL BLAHS that could have all fit into one freaking book!!! Amirite ppl?

Anyway, I loved Hekat and the mighty and mean old testament style god who actually speaks to his congregation and leads them on their destructive path. I could not get enough of the smiting and blood and sacrificing.
