I feel like a need a second to sit here and stare off into the distance after finishing between two fires.
An incredibly written book with character dialogue that feels impressively natural and real, combat that is both interesting and makes sense, and a gorgeous, tense, excellent story.
Characters feel so rich and alive, flawed and real. The world is incredibly interesting. Devils are horrifying and strange and so so creatively done. You can’t help but care deeply for all of it.
I don’t have the words to sing it’s praises but this is one of very few books I wish i could erase and read again.

The book takes place during the black plague so expect a lot of death and decay described in graphic detailkt_jams's review
