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.

Loved having a two person book club for this with Meghan, so many good reveals!

Marked that there are moderate racial slurs, but it depends if you are looking to avoid specific racial slurs used in our world vs the concept of people using racial slurs if that makes sense. I.e. there are racial slurs specific to this book that are used frequently

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.
