I'll add that while I wouldn't say The Dragon's Path has flaws, in that nothing really detracted from the reading experience, it does have aspects that aren't as strong as its good qualities. I can't say I had a great feel for the thirteen human races; they seemed to blend in or blur. Part of me assumes we'll delve more into them as the series continues, so this isn't such a big deal. And part of me wonders if it matters much; that the fact they're simply "there" just makes for a more realistic feel to the story, rather than giving the reader a "tour" of the Kooky Krazy Fantasy Races. In either case, as I said, it never bothered me or took me out of the story. The same sort of no great feel for things but didn't distract holds true for a sense of culture: food, religion, etc. He has one scene where a character recalls a city he'd overwintered in: "There's a lake in the middle of the city, and the whole time we were there, you could cross it anywhere. There's a winter city they build on the ice every year. Houses and taverns and all. Like a real town." I would have loved to have gotten more of those kinds of details, as well as more on the races, but as there's a lot of story left to come, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this an assume we will see more in both areas (that scene, by the way, with the speaker teaching Cithrin how to ice skate, is one of those small but beautiful moments between characters that Abraham does so well.)
In the end, The Dragon's Path impresses nearly as much as the Long Price Quartet and I can't wait to see where this goes (and one does need to wait--unlike that first series this book doesn't end with a clear resolution. It isn't a cliffhanger, but the story is in the middle). This one will be hard to push off that Year's Favorite list. Highly recommended.
