Rep: Chronically ill sapphic MC, Asian coded sapphic (lesbian coded) MC suffering from PTSD, disabled POC MC that is missing one of his hands. Possible sapphic side character--seemed to have a romantic relationship with another woman, but am not certain. I believe most the characters are POC but I'm not 100% certain.

Some authors struggle, in my experience, with successfully writing multiple, distinct points of view. Chupeco, though, skillfully balanced the perspectives, personalities, and emotions of each of their four protagonists. I was fully invested in each character and enjoyed reading from every perspective. Major props to them for that.
Right now I don’t think there’s much else I can say, as I’m just in awe of the story I read. Despite being almost 500 pages, I sped through it in a little over a day. The last time I pulled that off was with a highly anticipated sequel back in August, and before that, I’m
not sure.
The Never Tilting World is a phenomenal fantasy novel, full of everything that makes a story memorable, that also demonstrates the power of sisterhood and comments on some relevant topics along the way. I can’t stop thinking about it, or recommend it enough. Absolutely a hidden gem. I’m looking so very forward to the sequel!

The premise is that the world has been broken, there is a broken climate because the planet doesn't turn anymore, and there are these two goddesses with magic rhat that don't know about each other.
This storyline was so unique to me! Somehow this book mashes fantasy and dystopian, with a sprinkling of sci-fi because of the broken world, and it works so well!?!?
I think all of these characters have become new favourites. Can I even pick a duo!? I really like Haidee. She is so knowledgeable and she likes mechanika and is just a badass, but so sensitive and empathetic. And Arjun is so funny and has that total tough guy exterior! Lan is a badass and I love her. Odessa I loved for the beginning and then things took a turn, but she is a very well done character!
The twists and betrayals were fantastic. The side characters and creatures they encounter were very well done. And this world! I am so intrigued by it and can't wait to learn more in book 2!!
I am someone who LOVES to reference maps when I am reading, so I found it frustrating there is no compass on the map. Haidee keeps talking about them heading west in the book, but looking at the map it looks like they are going northeast!? It bugged me to no end. But no matter, that was quite small.
This has LGBTQ+ rep, disability and chronic illness (of the magical kind) rep, discusses grief and mental health, and of course climate change with the broken world. Loved it!
