A classic, I have read and reread an actual half dozen times.
Of note I think first is the world. It’s grounded, there are only really two levels. The mundane world is a majority of the story, and the ‘higher world’ feels like a distinct evolution of the narrative rather than just a new place to be at.
I seriously enjoy the progression of this story. The world has a nice distinct feel to it. The world at large doesn’t feel irrelevant, the places and locations of each arc matter and slot neatly into place with how the author has introduced the world from the first chapter.
And when the character moves on, like they always do, the new world is grounded and expanded on piece by piece as the characters capabilities grow.
It’s not perfect. It’s classic though, and it’s a solid story that doesn’t do anything particularly wrong. Highly recommended!
