Best fantasy book I've ever read. I understand the reviews now. Everything lead to its inevitable end. We should really figure out climate change.

I haven't read something I loved this much in a long time, can't wait for the second one. Besides the amazing worldbuilding and interesting structure, which I always enjoy, it has great representation! Probably the best representation I've read.

I really can’t put my thoughts into words other than to say this is a perfect book. I think this is the most unique, intricate, heartbreaking and awe inspiring story I’ve ever read. A true masterpiece.  (Please see content warnings)

Перед покупкою начиталася відгуків про те, яка ця книга унікальна, але поки я читала, не могла не перестати думати про те, що за вайбом і стилем написання вона для мене щось середнє між трилогією однієї російської письменниці (мені дали її почитати аж у 2006 році) і “Грою престолів” Джорджа Мартіна. Не знаю, чому я читала таке в дитинстві, мабуть, просто вибір книг та жанрів у продажу був значно менший, ніж зараз.

Проблема навіть не в тому, що частина книги написана у другій особі, бо, навіть якби у цьому не було сенсу, мені це все одно не заважало і було нормально. Мені не сподобався сам стиль написання навіть у тих частинах, де все було стандартно і для мене було занадто затягнуто.

Багато разів зустрічається слово “срака” — це плюс 😁

Багато жорстокості по відношенню до дітей.

Всі сексуальні сцени дуже крінжові.

Була виснажена після цієї книги.

Продовжувати читати трилогію не хочеться, вгамувала свою допитливість, прочитавши опис того, що відбувається далі і чим все закінчилося, у Вікіпедії. Бо сама історія цікава. Але для мене вона виявилася розчаруванням.
