An incredibly complex and rich story paired with a varied and interesting cast of eclectic characters. A potential ally could just as easily be your worst enemy given the wrong choices, or vice versa. Not to mention the steamier elements are all animated tastefully and described in exquisite detail. Well worth the plunge for any who enjoy complex socio-political power struggles in the tradition of George R. R. Martin or Robert Jordan. You also made me fall for a cursed cannibalistic shapeshifter, so bravo to you Konvel.
