I'm not one for spoilers in book reviews but I have never regarded a book more highly than this. And I am so appreciative for authors who are writing queer and ethnically diverse books. It's rare. A breath of fresh air against the bland, white, straight canopy that fantasy has been for so long.

I will say that the witch plot seemed a bit…shoehorned in. I would have liked to see more development with that part of the story line.
The queerness was such a lovely surprise (I didn’t realise just HOW many queer characters there were going to be) and it was super nice seeing various gender representations.
Moderate: Violence and Alcohol
Minor: Slavery and Vomit
