I had to start the New Sun series a couple of times before I actually managed to read it all the way through. The style definitely takes some getting used to, but I personally think he's a fantastic writer in terms of the quality of his writing. It is dense at times, but I think once you read to the end of the series (including The Urth of the New Sun) you should hopefully find it rewarding...

I can't think of many writers who are so good at introducing their world without info dumping, and he really does know how to construct a beautiful sentence.
