More Fantasy than SF, IMO, and we appear to have split the two categories this year. I admit, I did enjoy the book, read as an Audible book. But apparently not enough to actually read later volumes. And it's 676 pages.
That being said, if the consensus is that the category allows it, I'd probably give it a second. If only as an excuse to read the eBook version. But I was really hoping we'd see some real SF in this category. Of course, we just read an SF book last month, so we may have some dropoff this month.
