I love the use of foot notes it makes the world feel expensive and lived in like there is more information just off screen that is excluded simply because it's not the focus of the book

carrionkid's review against another edition
5.0
For the longest time, I thought I hated fantasy. Turns out all I needed was an impossibly dense book replicating the experience of reading a textbook because this book absolutely FLOORED me. The immersion of the universe is impeccable, the payoff is all so incredibly satisfying. The footnotes are such a perfect touch to the work and the way the threads of plot weave together is just fantastic.
