Wil, I just bought my copy and I've read about half of it. Nice work on the book -- it has been entertaining to read. But I was left with some big picture questions. (I have not completely read the book so I apologize if these answers are in there somewhere).
Make sure you read the Shadow in the North chapter. It goes into some detail about Izrador, his nature, and his motivations. Once you've read that, if you still have questions, we'll be happy to answer them.
