I got this to review but I haven’t read the first two books in the trilogy.

I quite like the style and the colour magic stuff is fascinating; I like some of the characters and there are clearly complex relationships happening. But it’s inaccessible to someone who doesn’t know the context and I’m not sure I have the time to read massive fantasy trilogy.

Is this one I should keep, and go seek out the other ones? I’m not completely averse to the idea, but I do have a lot of unread books…
