I first heard about this book from a reviewer on the Tor blog, and she said there were whole pages of this book she wanted to commit to memory, and I agree completely. Here's the review-->http://www.tor.com/blogs/2013/05/review-a-stranger-in-olondria-by-sofia-samatar
This is a very different book from what I normally read, but the writing was beautiful. It was a fantastic piece of work.
