I know that's the question on everyone's mind here. (Gee, it's almost like Foul hacked into my account ) Don't get too excited, I'm still reading it... I got a couple days ago. I just started the second part, and right now, I grok it (using a word from a novel I still haven't read ). It seems somewhat disjointed as far as what's going on and what's what, but there's enough going on to keep me going until I can figure things out. It also appeares that the gods are more active in this series then I am use to in modern fantasy...we'll see how that goes.

I don't see (too much) the difficulty in reading this. I'm almost at the fourth part, and I still don't want to take a break from it like I usually do with books. The characterizations are great and seem to be emphasized by the chaotic world building which is working out fine because it intrigues me to read further to find out more about it.
