I finished the book around a week ago. I couldn't believe it, when I walked into the bookshop and saw this staring at me from the book shelf. I knew it was coming out soon but didn't realise it had already been published. The book is a bit more together than runes of the earth which I thought was a bit disjointed.

Also Donaldson reintroduces some of his marvels back to the books such as orcrest, giants, elohim and forestals which I was dreading we weren't going to get to see again. I think I'd have to say the giants have to be my most favoured fantasy creatures ever since I heard Saltheart Foamfollower singing his song back in Book 1.

"stone and sea,
perminance at rest,
perminence in motion"

Also the introduction of the insequent (sp?) was a nice touch, brought a bit of spice to the already familiar aspects of the book.

All in all a good read and I can wait for the final edition.
