Stronghold

Hard to put down but also a bit hard to follow. Done with Melanie Rawn's inimitable style and unforgettable characters, with a bit too much POV-switching to really keep a hold of it. This book encompasses a huge conflict over the scale of a whole continent, and every chapter visits a huge number of locations. This one's a bit harder to keep track of than the previous three or Ruins of Ambrai. I'm also really not sure what happened at the end.
