4.5

Content note: Genocide and hate crimes towards (fantasy) marginalized groups

Ooh. The twists in this one. Definitely to reread again without low grade fever.

Slow start, initially skimmed a bit until i got into it.

Foreshadowing was overall good, but the actual ending felt abrupt and the epilogue felt disjointed. Is there a sequel? I hope so, since there's a lot of loose ends left to tie up.
