In my opinion Brotherhood of the Wolf is better and more enjoyable than The Sum of All Men, which was readable, but not very good. I'm not saying that this book is great, but it's a readable fantasy book.
Farland's writing style has become better, but he's not a perfect writer. The characters aren't as interesting as they could be and they're a bit shallow.
I can recommend Brotherhood of the Wolf to all readers, who are just beginning to read epic fantasy, because this book is easy to read.
