I really enjoyed this book. For about 3/4 of it, I was sure I was going to give it five stars. There is a lot going on and a lot to love. It would be easy to fall back on my normal complaint that the ending didn't work for me, but in this case, the problem is a little more complex. The book tells the story of two magicians who are rivals and whose lives are intertwined in some fascinating ways. The first half tells the story from the first magician's perspective. This was my favorite part, as it was mixed with all sorts of interesting magical theory (which I find to be very similar to writing theory) and lots of great meta stuff. This was my favorite part. The second half is the story from the second magician's point of view. It, too, was very enjoyable, if more straight forward. In some ways, the two stories are completely different in their scope, their focus, and so on, and so I think my ultimate disappointment came in the story that Priest uses to tie everything together. This story, which shows up at the beginning, the middle and the end, is a modern story about the descendants of these two magicians trying to sort of come to grips with the consequences of their ancestors's actions. For me, this story doesn't work. Read individually, each of the magician's story is powerful and could probably stand on its own as an amazing novel. There needed to be more to tie them together than the character's historical involvement. In the end, the framing story sort of made it so the second magician's story undermined the first, which I think was a mistake. Certainly the second magician's story is more fantastical and incredible, but only in an external way. I wish the framing story had worked better to tie the two accounts together. That said, I thought this was a masterful book. It won the World Fantasy Award and I think it deserved it.
